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: GOV REQUESTS SUPPORT FOR CANDIDATE TO UN HUMAN
RIGHTS COMMITTEE
1. (U) In a Diplomatic Note dated November 11 and received
in the Embassy December 2, Venezuela's Ministry of Foreign
Affairs requests USG support for Venezuela's candidate to
fill a seat on the UN Human Rights Committee. The note
refers to the candidacy that Venezuela put forward in May
2004 for one of three vacancies reserved for Latin American
and Caribbean countries, but does not contain a name. The
vote is to take place in May 2005 in the Economic and Social
Council, according to the Note.
2. (U) The note explains that the GOV interest in filling
the seat derives from the "process of profound changes and
transformations in which Venezuela's institutions are
engaged." The election of the Venezuelan candidate will
highlight the GOV's "firm disposition to respect, promote and
protect the human rights of all Venezuelans." The note ends
by noting the value of the USG's support, and by noting that
such support will help solidify our bilateral relations, and
reinforce the work of the Committee.
