US embassy cable - 05THEHAGUE3053

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. (SBU) On November 8, POLOFF delivered reftel points to 
Marwienke Tillema (Deputy Director, International Law 
Division, MFA).  POLOFF conveyed to Tillema U.S. gratitude to 
the EU for co-tabling the Turkmenistan resolution and 
explained that, despite U.S. desire to co-sponsor and assist 
with lobbying efforts regarding Sudan, inclusion of the call 
for a moratorium on the death penalty prevents it from doing 
so. 
 
2. (SBU) On November 9, POLOFF discussed reftel points with 
Guillaume Teerling (Senior Policy Advisor, Human Rights 
Department, MFA) at Tillema's request.  Teerling welcomed the 
points, explaining that the Dutch plan to cosponsor both the 
Iran and the Uzbekistan resolutions and vote for the Burma 
resolution.  According to Teerling, the Dutch will follow the 
EU line in favor of the thematic resolutions.
