REF: STATE 176189


1. Emboff, drawing on reftel points, spoke on September 2 to
First Secretary, UN Section at the DFA Julian Clare. Clare
stated that Ireland will not send a high-level delegation to
the Sept. 13-14 OSCE conference on Racism, Xenophobia and
Discrimination. Ireland strongly supports such conferences
and takes these issues seriously, but cannot attend due to
lack of availability of the appropriate personnel (Clare
hinted this is due mostly to internal cabinet reshuffling).
Instead, Ireland will send an official level delegation of
human rights specialists, to be named closer to the
conference.
