US embassy cable - 05BOGOTA8588

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.

Director of Multilateral Affairs Ignacio Ruiz.  Poloff urged 
a strong statement at the Geneva consultations, noted the

withdrawal.  Ruiz said on September 12 the GOC would support
