US embassy cable - 05SANTODOMINGO5157

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, Embassy on November 24 delivered reftel demarche to MFA UN 
affairs director Michelle Cohen, emphasizing the importance 
of the upcoming votes in the UNGA to promote more equitable 
treatment of Israel in the UN and to advance the cause of UN 
reform.  Political officer also highlighted the urgency of 
getting instructions to the Dominican UN mission in New York. 
 We asked that the Dominican Republic consider voting "no" to 
the proposed extension of the mandate of three outmoded UN 
bodies dealing with Israeli-Palestinian issues.  Cohen had no 
immediate reaction, but will study our points -- which we 
delivered as a non-paper -- and engage MFA decisionmakers.
