US embassy cable - 05TEGUCIGALPA695

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. (C) With the Cuban Ambassador in the Casa Presidencial 
waiting room, Honduran President Ricardo Maduro assured 
Ambassador on March 30 that Honduras will vote for the annual 
UNCHR Cuba resolution this year.  He said Honduras would not 
change its historic position of supporting efforts at the 
UNCHR to press for greater respect for human rights in Cuba. 
 
2. (C) Two days earlier, Foreign Minister Leonidas Rosa 
Bautista had told Ambassador that the GOH would vote for the

UNCHR Cuba resolution.
