US embassy cable - 05PANAMA439

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.

(SBU) On February 25, Panamanian Foreign Minister Samuel 
Lewis Navarro informed DCM that he had given instructions to 
Panamanian OAS Ambassador Royo to argue that the chair of the 
working group that will draft the OAS social charter and 
action plan should be chosen by consensus.  FM Lewis said 
that the GOP does not want the issue to go to a vote because 
it believes that may create ideological divisions within the 
OAS.  Lewis said he would make that point to his colleagues 
at the presidential inauguration in Montevideo on March 1.
