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.

Wood for reasons 1.4 (b) & (d) (C) Ambassador Wood met with Colombian Foreign Minister Carolina Barco on 6/28 to discuss the UNSYG's proposals to reform the UN Commission on Human Rights. The Ambassador made a strong pitch for the U.S. supported Human Rights Council initiative. Barco said she spoke with the Colombian Mission to the UN and they agreed to discuss new initiatives, keep their options open and not close any doors on U.S. ideas. Barco expressed her hope that any new organization on human rights be pragmatic and not stigmatize or politicize the issue but rather promote human rights. She said the GoC supported another proposal because they wanted to reach a consensus. If certain "fundamentalist" countries (European) are on the Council passing judgment on others, Barco worries that it would be counterproductive. Ambassador urged that the Colombians not reject the idea of a Council and remain open to dialogue on this issue. Barco agreed. WOOD
