¶1. (C) Following up on his earlier demarche (reftel B),the
Ambassador telephoned Chilean Deputy Foreign Minister Alberto
Van Klaveren on May 8 to urge Chile to oppose Iran's
candidacy for the Human Rights Council. Van Klaveren
reiterated Chile's position of supporting only those
countries committed to promoting and protecting human rights.
While noting
he had not seen the final list of countries Chile would
support, Van Klaveren said he would be "very surprised" to
see Iran on the list.
