US embassy cable - 04GUATEMALA909

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.

TAGS: PREL, PHUM, GT, UNCHR-1 
SUBJECT: GUATEMALA ANNOUNCES SUPPORT BUT NOT CO-SPONSORSHIP 
FOR CUBA RESOLUTION 
 
Foreign Minister Jorge Briz publicly announced on April 13 
that Guatemala will vote for the Cuba resolution drafted by 
Honduras.  Briz added that he had issued precise instructions 
to the Guatemalan delegation in Geneva.  Most major dailies 
carried the story, with one paper reporting that the Cuban 
Ambassador to Guatemala had refused to comment.  The same 
article quotes opposition Congressman and former Guatemalan 
Ambassador to Geneva and the U.S., Antonio Arenales, pointing 
out that Cuba has no excuse for refusing a visit by the UN 
High Commissioner's Personal Representative--something that 
Guatemala has done.
