US embassy cable - 04MADRID4443

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.

E.O. 12958: DECL: 11/19/2014 
TAGS: PREL, SU, SP, UNSC 
SUBJECT: SPAIN SUPPORTS SUDAN DRAFT RESOLUTION IN UNSC 
 
REF: STATE 246240 
 
Classified By: Poloff Ricardo Zuniga for Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). 
 
1.  (C)  Spain fully agrees with U.S. efforts on the 
UK-penned draft resolution focusing on the North-South peace 
process in Sudan.  Juan Manuel Gonzalez de Linares, Deputy 
Director General for UN Affairs at the MFA, told Poloff that 
he hoped that the resolution would be passed by consensus in 
Nairobi.  He added that a successful peace agreement in Sudan 
will improve peace and stability in East Africa and 
positively influence the current crisis in Darfur. 
 
2.  (C)  Gonzalez de Linares, reminded Poloff of the Spanish 
candidate for the International Court of Justice, Julio 
Gonzalo Campos.  Poloff noted that as a matter of policy, the 
USG does not express support for candidates for international 
organizations.  Gonzalez de Linares was also interested in 
U.S. views on global UN reform and UNSC reform, as Spain's UN 
mission has heard the views of other Security Council members 
on the Secretary General's soon to be published report on UN 
reform.
