US embassy cable - 05ASUNCION889

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.

COMMITTEE 
 
REF: STATE 122739 
 
On 7/8, PolCouns discussed with the MFA's Director of 
International Organizations, Julio Peralta, support for the 
U.S. candidacy to the World Heritage Committee.  Peralta 
noted that Paraguay needed to develop a payment plan to 
cancel approximately USD 300,000 in arrears to UNESCO before 
it could reclaim its voting privileges.  He anticipated 
Paraguay would reclaim this privilege in time to vote.  He 
appreciated the expertise the U.S. brought to this committee. 
 Paraguay had been approached by other States but had not yet 
made any decision regarding its vote.  He promised to give 
the U.S. Paraguay's fullest consideration.
