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.

Post delivered reftel demarche to Mike Shaw, Americas Division, New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT.) Shaw offered to circulate the information to relevant MFAT personnel, but stated that the GoNZ was unlikely to change its vote, or to abstain. Poloff urged Shaw to maintain a dialogue on the issue, and to seriously consider the points provided. 2. In a separate discussion, Roy Ferguson, Director, Americas Division (MFAT,) told PolCouns that, while New Zealand officials remain concerned over the human rights situation in Cuba, as a matter of general policy the GoNZ opposes the use of economic sanctions to exert political pressure on other countries. Ferguson's statements reinforce the GoNZ's likelihood to vote yes on the Cuba resolution. Burnett
