US embassy cable - 05PARIS2601

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.

(C) On April 14, we shared ref A request for French support 
for the draft amendment to the Convention for the Suppression 
of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation 
(SUA) with Veronique Vouland, Deputy Director for Disarmament 
Issues in the MFA.  Vouland told us April 15 that France 
shares our goals and will support us in ensuring that Article 
8bis is approved by the Legal Committee as is.  Vouland 
expressed appreciation for U.S. efforts and reminded us that 
France had been partially responsible for raising the need 
for such an article.
