US embassy cable - 05QUITO1051

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.  On May 5, PolOff relayed talking points to MFA Human 
Rights Officer Carmen Larrea emphasizing the reasons a new 
convention would weaken existing international accords.  On 
May 6, Larrea told PolOff the USG's reasoning made sense and 
that she tentatively agreed with our position.  However, she 
wished to review the text of the resolution providing a 
mandate for the working group before giving a definitive 
answer.  Larrea promised to review the text as soon as it 
became available.
