US embassy cable - 04THEHAGUE2104

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.

REF: STATE 176189 
 
1.  The Dutch hope to send a delegation to subject conference 
headed by a cabinet minister, likely Rita Verdonk, Minister 
for Immigration and Integration, according to Joris Geeven, 
MFA officer covering the OSCE in the Human Rights Department 
who spoke with Poloff on August 20.  Human Rights Special 
Ambassador Piet de Klerk will be on the delegation.  Geeven 
was intrigued by the participation of NGOs and universities 
on the U.S. delegation and said he felt the Dutch could have 
such representation as well. 
 
2.  Geevens promised to find out about Dutch reporting on 
hate crimes per se, with which he was not familiar.  He felt 
sure that some such reporting would go to Parliament on a 
yearly basis and that such public reports could be submitted 
to the OSCE.
