US embassy cable - 05BUCHAREST1582

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.

REF: SECSTATE 131485 
 
(SBU) PolChief raised urgent need for temporary relocation of 
Uzbek asylum seekers with  UN Division Director Adrian Ligor 
July 15, stressing the humanitarian urgency of this matter. 
Ligor said that he was unable to provide an initial 
substantive response, but committed to share the points with 
the MFA Human Rights Division and the Romanian delegation in 
Geneva. In a subsequent conversation with PolOff, Andreea 
Chiriac, Deputy Director of the MFA Human Rights, OSCE and 
Council of Europe Division, stated that the MFA would need to 
discuss the "viability" of possible relocation of asylum 
seekers in Romania with Interior Ministry officials.  She 
added that current torrential flooding and its humanitarian 
aftermath in Romania would likely limit the GOR's "capacity" 
to offer assistance to the asylum seekers.
