SUBJECT: PARAGUAY WILL NOT SUPPORT RESOLUTION ON GUANTANAMO
REF: STATE 69823
On 4/19, PolCoun drew from reftel points in conveying to
Julio Duarte, the MFA's Human Rights Director, U.S. concerns
about the resolution introduced by Cuba on Guantanamo.
Duarte affirmed that Paraguay similarly viewed this
resolution as unconstructive and politically motivated.
Paraguay had not decided yet whether it would abstain or vote
against the resolution but supporting it was not/not an
option. Duarte conjectured the resolution could ultimately
be pulled as occurred last year.
