US embassy cable - 04MADRID2660

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.

REASONS 1.4 (B)/(D) 
 
(C)  Reftel explained that Spain will increase its aid pledge 
to Darfur and support a strong EU statement on the crisis. 
We have since learned that Spain will support the U.S. 
proposed draft UNSC resolution on Darfur.  On July 11, we 
spoke with the Deputy Director General of UN Affairs, Juan 
Manuel Linares.  Linares told us that Spain would support the 
UNSC resolution but questioned how sanctions could be applied 
to the Jinjaweit since their leaders are not readily 
identifiable and they do not have any outside arms routes or 
bank accounts on which sanctions could be placed.  Linares 
said he would like to see this aspect clarified before the 
draft resolution is adopted.  Spain will continue to support 
keeping the pressure on the government of Sudan which, Spain 
believes, is supplying arms to the militia.
