Viewing cable 09SEOUL1761, KOREA TO FOLLOW EU LEAD ON GOLDSTONE REPORT UNGA

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.

DISCUSSION 
 
ΒΆ1. (SBU) Poloff delivered reftel demarche on 11/4 to Cho 
Tae-ick, Director of MOFAT's Human Rights and Social Affairs 
Division, urging the ROK to vote against any resolution on 
the Goldstone Report that included counterproductive 
elements.  Director Cho thanked us for the update on the USG 
position and said the ROK was similarly concerned that, 
broadly speaking, the UNGA discussion would "not be helpful" 
in getting the Peace Process back on track.  Cho, who had 
just come from a meeting about the Goldstone Report, 
emphasized the ROK would again look to follow the EU's lead; 
it was unlikely, he acknowledged, that the EU would reach 
consensus about how to proceed.  Cho pledged to relay our 
points immediately to the ROK UN Mission in New York.
