1. (U) POLOFF delivered reftel demarche and non-paper to Luis
Carranza, Director of Multilateral Policy in the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs (MFA),on June 1. Carranza said that the MFA
already sent Guatemala's 60-day report on implementation of
UNSCR 1747 to New York after coordinating drafting of the
report with the Ministry of Defense, Immigration, and other
GOG agencies. The Permanent Mission of Guatemala in New York
delivered the report to the UN the week of May 28.
2. (U) Carranza commented that Guatemala understands that it
must abide by the Security Council resolution as it is
legally binding on all UN member states but noted that the
resolution is addressed more to countries capable of
exporting weapons to Iran, such as Guatemala's neighbors,
than to countries such as Guatemala. He said that Guatemala
does not produce or transfer any weapons to Iran and has no
military industry capable of doing so. As such, he believes
that Guatemala is fully implementing the sanctions measures
of UNSCR 1747.
