1. (C) Ref A requested follow-up re Ref B report of the
result of Embassy Suva demarches to the Governments of Fiji,
Kiribati, Nauru, Tonga, and Tuvalu regarding Iran's candidacy
for the UN Human Rights Council. While Ref A suggested only
Tuvalu had already come on board, actually, per Ref B, Fiji,
Kiribati, Nauru, and Tuvalu all indicated support for the
U.S. view of the Iran-membership issue. Per Ref B, Tonga
will not commit until Foreign Minister Tu'a returns from
overseas. We will follow up with him at that time.
