US embassy cable - 05VIENNA2008

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.

Bureau Director Engelbert Theuermann on June 15.  Theuermann 
said the GoA had already notified the Swiss Government that 
it supported a diplomatic conference to adopt the Third 
Additional Protocol.  Theuermann added that the GoA was 
satisfied with the draft rules of procedure, and hoped that a 
diplomatic conference would take place in 2005.  He noted 
that it would be important to convince uncommitted countries. 
 In that context, Theuermann confided that EU Member States 
have been actively demarching Arab governments to support the 
Swiss approach.
