US embassy cable - 04SANTODOMINGO6226

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.

RESPONSE 
 
REF: A. STATE 236869 
     B. STATE 237932 
     C. STATE 243652 
 
1. Embassy on November 9 delivered demarches (refs A-B) on 
UNGA human rights resolutions and on November 16 the urgent 
demarche on Third Committee resolutions (ref C). 
 
2.  MFA UN/OAS affairs deputy director Rhadys Abreu de 
Polanco told us that she would have to await the return of 
Deputy FonMin Alejandra Liriano on November 20 to discuss the 
GODR's position on these resolutions.  However, Polanco noted 
that in the UN the GODR generally votes in favor of 
resolutions on countries "where there are systematic 
violations of human rights," unless there are complicating 
"bilateral factors."  She denied that the GODR would join any 
regional consensus to abstain on all human rights 
resolutions. 
 
3.  Embassy will report any further substantive response 
after November 20, if any.
