SUBJECT: DEMARCHE DELIVERED: CANDIDACY OF RUTH WEDGWOOD

REF: STATE 85759

Ambassador delivered to the GOL May 30 points on human rights
and the CV of Professor Ruth Wedgwood as the U.S. candidate for
re-election to a seat on the United Nations Human Rights
Committee. The points were discussed with Acting Foreign
Minister Ms. Mpeo Mahase (Minister of Employment and Labor).
She acknowledged Professor Wedgwood's outstanding background and
said she would bring the candidacy to the attention of Foreign
Minister Moleleki upon his return during the week of June 5. We
do not expect a definitive response until the FOMIN reviews the
request.
