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.

TAGS: PHUM, PREL, UNGA
SUBJECT: EL SALVADOR: UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL DEMARCHE
REF: A. STATE 140192
B. SAN SALVADOR 1983
1. (SBU) Poloff delivered Ref A demarche to Mario Rivera, MFA
Director of Multilateral Affairs on July 29. As in previous
conversations, Rivera stated that El Salvador is committed to
increasing the effectiveness of the UN on Human Rights issues
through reform of the system, and is in favor of a more
permanent Human Rights body. Rivera welcomed U.S.
flexibility on the number of members, agreeing that any
permanent body should be small, but stated that in internal
MFA discussions there had been concern that 20 could be too
limited. Rivera also stated that members should at least be
willing to state a commitment to the universal protection of
human rights and agreed that countries sanctioned by the UNGA
for human rights concerns should not be welcome.
2. (SBU) Rivera stated that in recent weeks, most of the
MFA's UNGA-related discussion has been focused on UNSC
reform, yet they still have not arrived at a firm position on
any of the emerging proposals (Ref B). Rivera said that
beginning August 8th (after the week-long national holiday),
the MFA would be convening meetings to discuss the other
topics, including terrorism, peace-building, human rights,
and management reform. Embassy will continue to seek El
Salvador's support on this and other UNGA issues.
