US embassy cable - 04THEHAGUE2910

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: NETHERLANDS/EU/IRAQ:  UN PROTECTION FORCE POINTS 
DELIVERED 
 
REF: STATE 240281 
 
Classified By: POLCOUNS ANDREW J. SCHOFER FOR REASONS 1.4 (B) AND (D). 
 
(C) On November 10, POLCOUNS delivered reftel points on 
disbursing pledges for the UN protection force in Iraq to 
Adri van Loopik, head of the MFA's Iraq/Iran desk.  PolMilOff 
conveyed separately to MFA Security Policy Department 
Operations Director Rob Gabrielse.  Van Loopik understood 
that the UN was so far reluctant to establish a UN Trust Fund 
(the EU's prepared option) and took on board that the EU 
(and/or individual states) needed to move quickly to 
establish an alternate mechanism if such a trust fund were 
not forthcoming.  He did not indicate what the Dutch planned 
to do at this point to move the process forward, either as EU 
president or as a member state, but said that our views would 
be taken into account in either case.
