US embassy cable - 05ASUNCION629

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.

Human Rights Director Julio Duarte the USG's strong

financial implications of the initiative.  Duarte indicated 
that he would discuss the talking points with Multilateral
