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: NEPAL: GOLDSTONE REPORT DEMARCHE DELIVERED 
 
REF: STATE 112828 
 
1.  (SBU) Post conveyed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 
(MFA) reftel points regarding USG concerns about the 
Goldstone report released on September 15 and scheduled for 
discussion in the UN General Assembly starting November 4. 
MFA officials responsible for UN and International 
Organizations did not provide substantive feedback. 
 
2.  (SBU) Comment:  Although the MFA has not informed post of 
its views regarding the Goldstone report, Nepal generally has 
reservations about human rights resolutions of any type. 
Nepal is struggling with its own human rights issues in the 
wake of a ten-year Maoist insurgency and a fragile, on-going 
peace process, and wants to avoid scrutiny of its human 
rights record.
