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.

1. (U) On January 6, MFA International Organizations Deputy
Director General Nubia Lezcano advised Poloff that the GOP
has committed to one CERD candidate due to "previous
agreements," but has not decided who to support for the other
eight positions. Lezcano further explained that it was
unlikely the GOP would be able to advise Embassy of a firm
position before the January 14 election. MFA has not yet
decided whether to send representatives or ask that Panama's
UN Permrep Ramon Morales attend the January 14 CERD election
in New York. Per Reftels B and C, Poloff had previously
spoken on December 19 with Lezcano, who advised that the GOP
had not yet taken a position on this candidacy.
2. (U) On November 7, Poloff delivered a diplomatic note
requesting Government of Panama (GOP) support for Ralph
Boyd's CERD candidacy with Reftel A talking points to MFA
Director General for International Organizations Rodolfo
Aleman.
