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.

SUBJECT: DEMARCHE DELIVERED: COMPLEMENTARY STANDARDS 
CONVENTION 
 
REF: A. STATE 111466 
     ΒΆB. 10/29 BERNS-OSTERMEIER E-MAIL 
 
(SBU) On October 29, we delivered ref A points to MFA Deputy 
Director for Human Rights Omar Shalaby, urging GOE support 
for the U.S. action plan to strengthen existing human rights 
obligations, and noting U.S. opposition to any new legally 
binding international instruments.  Shalaby said that the 
Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and the Africa 
Group (AG) would not break consensus on the last day of the 
Ad Hoc Committee on Complementary Standards, October 30. 
(Note: Per ref B, we transmitted Shalaby's full response by 
e-mail to IO/HR on October 29.  End note.)  Shalaby said the 
OIC and AG would call for a new optional protocol on October 
30, but that both groups have "no expectation" it will be 
adopted.  Shalaby said the GOE sees no value in re-writing 
human rights law or breaking consensus, and that the GOE 
would review the U.S. action plan.
