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.

UNCLAS QUITO 002115 SIPDIS SENSITIVE E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PREL, EC, UNGA SUBJECT: UNGA: MFA MIFFED OVER USG APPROACH TO OUTCOME DOCUMENT REF: STATE 163244 1. (SBU) PolOff delivered RefTel points on September 12 to MFA Director for Multilateral Affairs, Miguel Mendez, communicating USG openness to international opinions on the UN High Level Event Outcome Document, while encouraging GOE officials to be flexible during negotiations. Mendez said that the GOE is committed to working with the international community to develop a viable Outcome Document, but argued that the USG should demonstrate a greater willingness to hear and consider views of Latin American and other developing nations. Mendez also expressed frustration over what the GOE considers the USG tendency to make last-minute changes that force "top-down decision-making." PolOff emphasized that the USG is negotiation in good faith, and is committed to finding strong, appropriate language to ensure successful UN reform. The GOE hopes to make the UN a more equitable, transparent organization. 2. (SBU) Comment: We are skeptical that the GOE will be an ally in the Outcome Document negotiations. End Comment. JEWELL
