US embassy cable - 05VIENNA550

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.

1.  (U) This message is sensitive but unclassified. 
 
2.  (U) Embassy Vienna conveyed reftel points and the draft 
resolution to the Austrian MFA Human Rights Bureau on 
February 23.  EconPolOff followed up on February 25 with Eva 
Koegler, MFA Director for International Women's Issues, who 
will represent Austria at the ten-year review meeting in New 
York.  Koegler said she did not find the draft resolution 
controversial and thought it likely that Austria will support 
it.  She anticipates, however, that other delegations will 
propose a number of amendments. 
 
3.  (SBU) Koegler said that more detailed discussion of the 
strengths and weaknesses would have to wait until EU missions 
discuss the draft in New York.  She thought that parts of the 
resolution were too general, however.  Citing OP2 as an 
example, she argued that far more specific language should 
replace the phrase "clear property and inheritance rights."
