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: GUATEMALA STILL STUDYING BALLISTIC MISSILE ICOC
REF: A. STATE 89910
B. 02 GUATEMALA 2889
PolOff raised ref A points with Sylvia Corado, Director for
Multilateral Affairs at the Foreign Ministry (MFA) on April
25. Corado said the MFA remains interested in subscribing to
the International Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missile
Proliferation (ICOC), and hopes to do so in time to
participate in the June meeting on implementation issues and
confidence building measures. Corado explained that the MFA
had not responded to our earlier demarche (ref B), because
paragraph 3 (a) of the ICOC requires subscribers to "ratify,
accede to, or otherwise abide by" the terms of three treaties
related to outer space. Corado admitted the MFA has very
little expertise in this area and needed to be sure it
understood what it was signing. Corado stressed that
Guatemala supports the goal of non-proliferation.
