US embassy cable - 05PANAMA1646

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.

MFA Deputy International Organizations and Commissions 
Director Nubia Lezcano on August 2, stressing the U.S. desire 
for Panama's continued support in creating a new UN Human 
Rights Council.  PolOff emphasized the need for an 
action-oriented council that can help improve human rights 
situations on the ground.  PolOff reiterated the U.S. desire 
to have a small number of members on the council enabling it 
to operate quickly and with more efficiency.  Lezcano said 
she would discuss the matter with MFA Human Rights Director 
Janio Tunion when he returns from his vacation on August 15. 
Embassy will report any further developments to the 
Department.
