US embassy cable - 05BOGOTA10640

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: COLOMBIA LIKELY TO ABSTAIN ON UNGA THIRD COMMITTEE 
RESOLUTIONS 
 
REF: STATE 204646 
 
(C) PolCouns delivered ref demarche to Vice Minister for 
Multilateral Affairs Alejandro Borda on November 8, 
requesting Colombian support for the country specific and 
thematic human rights-related resolutions before the UN Third 
Committee, as well as to oppose no action motions.  Borda 
indicated that, because Colombia is an agenda item of the 
Commission on Human Rights, the GOC would likely abstain on 
the country specific resolutions and on any no action 
motions, as they have done in the past.  On November 11, 
Ambassador pressed Foreign Minister Barco to shift from 
abstention on no action motions and the country specific 
resolutions.  She agreed to review the GOC position.
