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.

C O N F I D E N T I A L DUBLIN 001365 SIPDIS SIPDIS E.O. 12958: DECL: 01/31/2015 TAGS: PREL, KSEP, EI, UNGA SUBJECT: IRELAND LUKEWARM ON SWISS UNSC PROPOSAL REF: STATE 199305 Classified By: Political-Economic Counselor Mary E. Daly; Reasons 1.4 ( B) and (D). (C) On November 3, Post delivered reftel demarche to Brian Cahalane, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Deputy Director for UN Affairs. Cahalane noted that the Irish response to the Swiss proposal for UNSC reform was "lukewarm at best." He related the GOI's view that the Swiss had been mistaken to float the proposal in the General Assembly without first consulting the P-5. He also observed that while portions of the proposal were worth consideration, other portions could be interpreted as rewriting the UN Charter, particularly those provisions governing UNSC rules of procedure. Cahalane said that Ireland's Perm Rep was scheduled the week of November 7 to meet with his Swiss counterpart over lunch, which would be an opportunity to air Irish views on the proposal. He added that the Human Security Network, a ministerial group to which Ireland and Switzerland belong, would be another channel for discussion. KENNY
