US embassy cable - 04ZAGREB1842

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: CROATIA SUPPORTS MERON RE-ELECTION TO ICTY 
 
REF: STATE 218465 
 
1. (U) The GOC has announced that it will support the 
re-election of Theodor Meron to the post of permanent judge 
of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former 
Yugoslavia (ICTY).  When Poloff delivered reftel points 
October 14, MFA's director of UN affairs Ranko Vilovic 
highlighted the GOC's positive assessment of Meron's 
leadership of the court.  The GOC confirmed its support for 
Meron in a diplomatic note October 15. 
 
2. (SBU) COMMENT: As Meron plays a key role in the transfer 
of war crimes cases from The Hague to Croatian courts, we can 
count on the GOC's position in favor of his candidacy 
remaining solid.  END COMMENT.
