US embassy cable - 05GUATEMALA658

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. (SBU)  DFM Marta Altolaguirre will head Guatemala's 
delegation to the Commission on Human Rights.  She is 
currently in Vancouver attending a conference on migration 
issues.  Polcouns therefore delivered reftel demarche to 
Guatemalan MFA's Luis Carranza, deputy director for 
multilateral policy at the United Nations.  Carranza 
expressed interest in our Cuba resolution but could not 
indicate a GOG position. 
 
2. (SBU) Carranza said the GOG's priority at the CHR was to 
track and respond to the presentation of reports on Guatemala 
by four rapporteurs who visited Guatemala in the last year 
(rapporteurs on women, independence of judges, indigenous 
issues, and racial discrimination). 
 
3. (U) Polcouns also sent copies of non-paper to Deputy FM 
Carlos Ramiro Martinez, Amb. Carla Rodriguez (U/S for 
Multilateral Relations who will attend part of the CHR), and 
Alma Cordero, advisor to Altolaguirre.
