(C) Poloff delivered reftel points to Karel van Kesteren,
MFA Director for UN and IFIs, on July 12, emphasizing that
one of the USG's top five priorities for UN reform is to
complete the CCIT. Apparently unaware of the upcoming New
York discussions at the end of July, he acknowledged that the
Dutch agree with the USG points and strategy for New York.
Regarding the two outstanding issues (military
forces/liberation movements) he acknowledged the OIC has been
implacable, citing Pakistan as an example that uses the
negotiations to keep Kashmir in the limelight. Van Kesteren
reiterated that the Chairman's draft text for the HLE outcome
document had good language on terrorism, which he hoped would
help set the tone for the CCIT debate.
