US embassy cable - 03THEHAGUE2311

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Declaration of Principles and draft Plan of Action to Dutch 
MFA Human Rights Policy Advisor Jeroen van Drunen on

in the UN office, and the Dutch have "no problem supporting 
the U.S. position" in the upcoming PrepCom 3 meeting in 
Geneva September 15-26.  He added that the Dutch have 
"exactly the same issues" with the two drafts, and share U.S.
