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.

SUBJECT: CHADIAN RESPONSE TO UN REFORM DEMARCHE
REF: A. STATE 126870
B. STATE 119897
1. (SBU) Per reftels, Ambassador Wall met with Chadian
Foreign Minister Nagoum Yamassoum on July 11 to discuss the
UN reform. In outlining the U.S. position on UN reform, the
Ambassador emphasized our desire for overall reform, not just
UN Security Council expansion. He noted that G-4 proposal of
six additional seats could diminish the workability and
effectiveness of the UNSC. In addition, the Ambassador
expressed U.S. concerns about the process envisaged for
adopting the G-4 position and stressed the need for obtaining
broad consensus on the issue. The Ambassador gave the
Foreign Minister a copy of the talking points and asked if
Chad had yet decided on a position on the issue.
2. (SBU) Foreign Minister Yamassoum said that Chad has
adopted the consensus position of the African Union. The AU
wants two permanent seats and five rotating seats for African
countries. The heads of state reaffirmed Africa's commitment
to global reform of the UN to include the Economic and Social
Council, the Security Council, and the Human Rights
Commission. According to Yamassoum, the AU is establishing a
"fifteen plus three" group to explore various UN reform
measures and develop a common position.
3. (SBU) Comment: Chad is not a leader, but a follower, on
most AU issues. We expect Chad to wait for the AU to develop
options on UN reform before making any further decisions.
