US embassy cable - 04DUBLIN1817

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.

REF: STATE 266582 
 
On December 16 Emboff, drawing on reftel, spoke to UN Desk 
Officers Maurice Biggar and Eoin Duggan, and on December 20 
to First Secretary Sean O'Regan, Deputy Director for Human 
Rights at the DFA.  O'Regan said that Ireland supports the UN 
Human rights resolutions in the UNGA plenary.  Following the 
lead of the EU presidency, which, on December 8, encouraged 
member states to lobby for support, the GOI asked its 
embassies worldwide to lobby countries that voted no or 
abstained, to support the resolutions.  O'Regan also said 
that the GOI is not pleased with the use of no action 
motions, and that Ireland is doing all it can to garner 
support, but is limited by its low number of worldwide 
missions.
