1. (C) Poloff delivered reftel demarche 25 September to Joris
Geeven, policy officer at MFA human rights division, and
Peter van der Vliet, Head of the Political and Legal Affairs,
UN and IFIs Department. Geeven thanked us for the
information. He said the GONL had expected the Cubans to
renew their effort on reftel points and that this would be a
logical time for them to do it.
2. (C) Van der Vliet added, in an aside, that the GONL would
be interested in knowing as soon as the U.S. has decided
whether to run for a seat next year on the HRC.
3. (C) MFA Director of Western Hemisphere Affairs, Laurent
Stokvis, informed DCM on January 26 that the Cubans were
planning to table a resolution recognizing President Bush's
stated desire to close Guantanamo and calling for an
international commission to assist us in this. Stokvis
stated that the Dutch mission in Geneva is in close
consultation with the UK and U.S., to defeat such a
resolution.
