REF: STATE 63870
On May 8, POLOFF thanked Julio Peralta, Director for
International Organizations within the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs for Paraguay's support for the adoption of the Third
Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions at the
diplomatic conference in Geneva in December 2005. POLOFF
informed Peralta that before Israel's National Society, Magen
David Adom (MDA),could join the International Red Cross/Red
Crescent, the movement's statutes must be changed and that
the issue would be raised at an upcoming international
conference in Geneva June 19-21. Peralta stated that he was
pleased that the Third Protocol had passed and mentioned that
Paraguay intended to support amendments to the statutes at
the conference in June.
