US embassy cable - 04DUBLIN1079

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.

SUBJECT: ECOSOC: IRISH WILL OPPOSE CUBAN RESOLUTION 
 
REF: STATE 150754 
 
On July 19, Tim Harrington, First Secretary of the Human 
Rights Division at DFA said Ireland would take the common EU 
position and vote against the Cuban resolution.  Harrington 
was responding to reftel demarche, delivered July 12.  The 
GOI believes that the issues in the Cuban resolution are 
already being addressed, and that the resolution appears to 
be purely politically motivated.  Harrington also said that 
the EU would oppose any "no-action" motion on the Cuban 
resolution, but stressed that the EU opposes all "no-action" 
motions out of principal and its vote should not be seen in 
any way as support for the substance of the Cuban resolution.
