US embassy cable - 05KINGSTON806

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.

REF: STATE 31427 
 
1. (SBU) On March 14, Pol/Econ Chief conveyed reftel talking 
points to Shorna-Kay Richards, of the International 
Organizations Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and 
Foreign Trade (MFAFT), leaving talking points as a non-paper. 
 Richards carefully reviewed the points, as well as The Hague 
Code of Conduct (HCOC) text distributed by the Dutch 
government at the 2002 launching conference, the sample Note 
Verbale, and the list of Subscribing States.  Focusing on the 
latter document, she noted the dearth of fellow Caricom 
states (other than Suriname and Guyana) it contained while 
expressing satisfaction at the number of Latin American 
subscribing states. 
 
2. (SBU) Richards agreed to provide a more considered 
response once her superiors had reviewed the documents.  She 
spoke favorably of HCOC in general terms, but indicated that 
it would not be a priority for the GOJ given its limited 
resources and competing priorities.
