US embassy cable - 05THEHAGUE2675

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.

1.  Poloff discussed reftel points October 4 with Dr. 
Liesbeth Lijnzaad (Deputy Head, Legal Affairs Department, 
International Law Division, MFA), who will head the Dutch 
delegation to the International Maritime Organization 
Diplomatic Conference on October 10-14. 
 
2.  Lijnzaad said that she would probably be unable to 
provide an official GONL position to the USG prior to the 
conference.  Other delegation members have not had the 
opportunity to review the points, and are currently involved 
in the PSI conference in Bergen, Norway.  Lijnzaad noted, 
however, that the GONL's position is "generally in line" with 
the USG position, and that she was impressed with the amount 
of work Washington has done on these issues.  She added that 
the Dutch government disagrees with Washington on a "few, 
minor items" but declined to elaborate.  Post will provide 
updates as necessary.
