US embassy cable - 05PRAGUE354

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.

THE STATE OF DEMOCRACY 
 
REF: SECSTATE 39640 
 
1.  (SBU)  Poloff spoke with Mr. Jan Kaminek of the 
Department of Human Rights at the Czech MFA on March 10 
regarding the referenced demarche asking for feedback about a 
planned resolution on the state of democracy and democratic 
elections in the world.  Mr. Kaminek told Poloff candidly 
that while of course there would be no discussion of whether 
or not to support such a resolution, unfortunately the Czechs 
are not currently in a position to sponsor such a resolution. 
 Mr. Kaminek explained that the Czech Human Rights Department 
and their mission in Geneva is simply too small and 
overworked at this point.  However, he stated firmly that if 
such a resolution is tabled, the Czechs would certainly 
support it.
