Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Polchief discussed reftel A points March 3 with Georg Diwald, 
MFA Deputy Director for International organizations.  Diwald 
said the GOA maintains its opposition to an Article 16 
deferral of the arrest warrant for President Bashir (reftel 
B).  Diwald said the GOA would not necessarily oppose a UNSC 
press statement following the issuance of an arrest warrant, 
but he agreed it would be unlikely that Council members could 
agree on a text.
