US embassy cable - 04THEHAGUE556

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.

(C) PolMilOff and UK DCM Jane Darby delivered reftel demarche 
to Paul Wilke, Head of the Dutch MFA Nonproliferation Office 
on March 4.  Wilke was pleased to receive the draft 
resolution and said the U.S. and the UK had achieved a very 
significant step with Libya that also sends a message to 
Iran.  The GONL had already instructed its mission in Vienna 
to vote in favor of such a resolution provided it establishes 
full cooperation by Libya.  Wilke noted with approval the 
reference to Article XII of the IAEA Statute in the draft 
text, and said this would set a precedent with Director 
ElBaradei, undercutting his "skewed argument" that only 
breaches of the NPT need to be reported to the UNSC.  Looking 
ahead, Wilke said that the GONL's main focus would be to 
maintain unity among members of the "non-group" in Vienna. 
He anticipates "heavy weather" going into the June BOG 
meeting (and a presumed debate about referring Iranian 
noncompliance to the UNSC).  Wilke said he expected 
continuing Iranian failures to comply to come to light in the 
coming months.
