US embassy cable - 04DJIBOUTI1444

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.

Classified By: POL/ECON ERINN C. REED FOR REASONS 1.4 (B) AND (D). 
 
 1. (C) Pol/Econoff delivered demarche per reftel on November 
10 to Director of Bilateral Relations, Mohamed Ali Hassan. 
Hassan commented that Djibouti is among many countries in the 
world that condemn Israel because it violates international 
and humanitarian laws when dealing with the Palestinian 
people. However, he continued, the U.N. has to be reformed. 
 
2. (C) Hassan continued that the issue comes down to Israel 
"mocking" the resolutions, which have been started by the 
European Union, the Organization of the Islamic Conference 
and others. Hassan said Israel continues to refuse to 
implement resolutions and to ignore the opinions of the 
international community. It is unacceptable to the 
international community.  Hassan also said Djibouti is in 
support of reforms at the United Nations in order to give 
more effective means to enforce and to consolidate 
international laws.  He said Djibouti would continue to try 
and play a positive role in the United Nations in order to 
undertake a more just treatment of international questions 
with its partners in the international community.
