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.

UNCLAS MADRID 001756 SIPDIS E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PHUM, SP, UNCHR-1, UNGA SUBJECT: SPAIN'S VIEWS ON PREVENTING AN UNMANDATED SESSION ON CHR REFORM REF: STATE 82967 1. Poloff discussed reftel demarche with Juan Manuel Gonzales de Linares, Deputy Director General for UN Affairs at the MFA. Gonzales de Linares confirmed to poloff that Spain shares U.S. views and is against a Working Group to discuss human rights reform in Geneva. Gonzales de Linares said that the GOS favors resolving Commission on Human Rights (CHR) reform issues in New York. The GOS was "shocked" to find out that the budgetary implications of a CHR meeting in Geneva would exceed USD 265,000. 2. When Gonzales de Linares was asked if he agreed with all of our points, he responded that the GOS favors resolving CHR reform issues in New York under ECOSOC because the CHR had previous opportunities to address this issue in April, not necessarily because the CHR has no independent mandate to discuss its own reform. The GOS believes that the CHR has such a mandate because of precedents set in 1994 with previous Working Groups. MANZANARES
