US embassy cable - 05RABAT2200

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.

SUBJECT: MOROCCO:  ISRAEL AT UNGA - I: HOLOCAUST 
REMEMBRANCE RESOLUTION 
 
REF: STATE 188927 
 
Classified By: Acting Pol/C Cynthia Kierscht for reasons 1.4 (b), (d). 
 
1. (C)  Per reftel, Acting Pol/C met October 24 with MFA 
Director for UN Affairs Nacer Bourita to discuss support for 
the UNGA resolution on the Holocaust Remembrance.  Bourita 
said that Morocco will indeed vote for the resolution as the 
GOM considers it a "follow-up" action to the 28th Special 
Session of the UNGA held in commemoration of the liberation 
of the Nazi concentration camps.  Morocco had been supportive 
of the "tenor" of this Special Session and had pushed within 
the Arab Group for the Session to be convened, according to 
Bourita.  While he emphasized GOM support for the resolution, 
Bourita declined to commit to cosponsoring the resolution.
