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: COSTA RICA REAFFIRMS ITS SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL IN THE
UNGA
REF: A. STATE 188927
B. STATE 188933
Post delivered Reftel talking points on October 14. In a
follow-up meeting with the MFA's chief of multilateral
policy, Carlos Cordero, Poloff thanked the GOCR for its
historic support of Israel, and asked for continued
cooperation in both approving International Holocaust
Remembrance Day and in rejecting resolutions with an
anti-Israeli bias. Cordero explained that Costa Rica has
long felt a certain kinship with Israel, given the concurrent
timing of Israel's establishment with Costa Rica's revolution
in 1948. He emphasized that Costa Rica was one of the very
first nations to recognize Israel, and noted that Costa Rica
is proud to be a co-sponsor on the Holocaust Remembrance
resolution. While Cordero stopped short of promising a "no"
vote on all potentially anti-Israel biased measures, given
Costa Rica's attempts to maintain cordial relationships with
Arab nations, he did promise that Costa Rica would at a
minimum continue to abstain on such resolutions.
