US embassy cable - 05GUATEMALA81

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.

(C) Embassy Guatemala polcouns delivered reftel points to 
Ambassador Carla Rodriguez, U/S for Multilateral Relations in 
the Guatemalan MFA.  Rodriguez said the GRULAC met January 10 
in Geneva and had left for a follow-on meeting the issue of 
naming its candidate for the CHR Working Group on Situations. 
 She said the follow-on meeting had not been scheduled but 
thought it would be around January 20.  Rodriguez said 
Guatemalan Permrep Ambassador Lars Pira had consulted with 
the MFA, and the MFA had decided it could not be a candidate 
for the Working Group, in part because there were three 1503 
complaints pending against Guatemala.  Rodriguez indicated 
Guatemala and other GRULAC countries shared our concerns 
about Cuba's candidacy but were unable to identify a viable 
alternative.
