Viewing cable 09PARAMARIBO394, DEMARCHE DELIVERED: OPPOSING UNGA RESOLUTIONS WITH

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

REF: STATE 118799 
 
1. (SBU)  On November 24, Poloff shared the points in Reftel with 
Chantal Elsenhout, Acting Head of International Organizations, 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).  Elsenhout responded that the 
overarching principle for Suriname's foreign policy on the 
Palestinian issue is to "support the legitimate quest of 
Palestinians for peace, and that it should be based on UN 
resolutions on the matter." 
 
 
 
2. (SBU) Comment:  In general, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 
tends to defer its UN voting decisions to its Mission in New York, 
which holds the greater influence and responsibility for deciding 
which way Suriname will vote.  There is at least one official from 
International Organizations on detail in New York to work on-site 
on United Nations issues, rather than relying on communications 
back to the Ministry.  In addition to our demarching MFA here, 
delivery of demarches directly to the Mission in New York also 
could be helpful in influencing Suriname's voting pattern.
