US embassy cable - 05GUATEMALA565

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.

Poloff delivered reftel demarche to MFA Assistant Director 
for Multilateral and U.N. Affairs, Luis Carranza, on March 2. 
 Carranza assured poloff that Guatemala would again vote in 
favor of the Declaration on Human Cloning, as it did in the 
Sixth Committee, and reminded poloff that Guatemala voted 
against the Belgian amendment.  Carranza said Guatemala could 
not commit to opposing all amendments without first 
considering them, but reiterated Guatemala's support for the 
Declaration in its current form.  Poloff also met with Nery 
Rodenas, Executive Director of the Archbishop's Office of 
Human Rights, and First Secretary Monsignor Jerzy Cudny at 
the Papal Nucio.  Both agreed to pass the message to their 
superiors, and both believed their superiors would be willing 
to contact the Guatemalan government to express support for 
the Declaration.
