US embassy cable - 05BOGOTA10152

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.

Classified By: Political Counselor Jeffrey DeLaurentis; 
Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d) 
 
1.  (C) Poloff delivered ref demarches to Coordinator for the 
U.S. and Summit for the Americas Francisco Gonzalez on 
October 18.  Poloff thanked the GOC for its co-sponsorship of 
Israel's Holocaust Remembrance resolution (ref A) and asked 
the GOC to encourage other countries to join in 
co-sponsorship.  Gonzalez said Colombia has not historically 
been able to support the U.S. on Israel at UNGA, but recent 
changes in high-level staffing at MFA might provide an 
opportunity to re-engage the GOC on these issues. 
 
2.  (C) On October 19, Polcouns discussed Middle East 
resolutions with new Vice Minister for Multilateral Affairs 
Alejandro Borda.  Borda hinted that the GOC may be in a 
position to reconsider its votes on the mandates of the three 
U.N. institutions discussed in ref B.  Post will continue to 
pursue.
