(C) POL Chief delivered reftel demarche October 26 to MFA
Chief Director and number three official Ambassador Ellen
Nee-Whang, stressing USG concerns over efforts to water down
the rape resolution and seeking Ghana's co-sponsorship.
Nee-Whang noted that Ghana has taken a strong position
against rape and violence toward women, and agreed with the
gist of the resolution. While non-committal on
co-sponsoring, Nee-Whang was particularly interested in which
countries are leading the effort to water down the
resolution.
