US embassy cable - 05DUBLIN1408

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.

REF: SECSTATE 206948 
 
Classified By: POL/ECON CHIEF MARY DALY, FOR REASONS 1.4 (B), (D) 
 
(C) On November 17, emboff delivered reftel points to 
Department of Foreign Affairs UN/Terrorism and Illicit Drugs 
Section First Secretary Brian Cahalane.  Cahalane said that 
Ireland supports the adoption of a Third Additional Protocol 
to the Geneva Conventions creating a neutral Emblem for the 
Red Cross/Crescent Movement.  He added that while Ireland is 
unlikely to make an individual statement backing the protocol 
the Irish support will be realized by a statement likely to 
be made by the EU Presidency.  Cahalane stated that based on 
internal EU discussions on the proactive measures the Swiss 
have taken in the Middle East, a successful outcome to the 
December conference is likely.
