RIGHTS COUNCIL

REF: STATE 114051

On August 1, POLOFF delivered the reftel resolution on the UN
Human Rights Council to Julio Peralta, Director of
International Organizations within the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. Peralta said he would pass along copies of the
resolutions to his colleagues at the United Nations in Geneva
and would discuss it with them. POLOFF contacted the new
Director of Human Rights Francisco Barreiro regarding this
subject on August 8 but he was unfamiliar with the matter.
POLOFF contacted Peralta again on August 17 to follow-up and
he indicated that he had no response from Geneva and will
contact them again. Post will forward any substantive
response as it becomes available.
