1. (C) PolExt Chief delivered reftel points December 1 to
Beata Baranska, Political Affairs Chief in the MFA UN
Department. Baranska responded that Poland shares the U.S.
view that any resolution on a Register of Damages should be
entirely consistent with the report of the UNSYG. The GOP
concurs that the Palestinian goes beyond the mandate of the
authorizing resolution, and also agrees that the technical
mandate cannot and should not be expanded to include the
verification and assessment of claims.
2. (C) Baranska added that she had provided clear
instructions to the Polish Mission in New York to oppose the
Palestinian draft, and should the Palestinian observer
delegation continue to press the issue, to insist on a
written explanation of the inconsistencies. She assured that
such a Palestinian document would be for the record and that
there was no expectation it would lead to a change to the
Polish position in principle.
