US embassy cable - 03OTTAWA952

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.

Special Advisor for UNESCO in DFAIT's United Nations and 
Commonwealth Affairs Division, on April 2.  Chouinard said 
Canada is in complete agreement with our position on keeping 
Iraq off the agenda for the UNESCO executive board meeting, 
and will join us in opposing efforts to include Iraq. 
Chouinard, who was to leave Ottawa the afternoon of April 2nd

consideration of the Iraq situation should remain in the 
Security Council.
