If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

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.

Discussing cables

2. (SBU) Meeting with POL and Econ Deputies on September 14, 
Department of International Relations and Cooperation Deputy 
Director for UN Security Council Issues Ilia Dubuisson made 
it clear that, notwithstanding South Africa's support for 
Kosovo's World Bank membership, Pretoria remains "in no 
hurry" to recognize Kosovo. Dubuisson said that the SAG does 
not consider Kosovo's recognition by 62 governments to be an 
overwhelming endorsement.  According to Dubuisson, South 
Africa prefers to have the International Court of Justice 
advisory opinion on Kosovo before considering recognition.
