1. (U) CDA delivered reftel points to Ambassador Janez
Premoze, Head of the COASI Working Group at the MFA Division
for Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. Premoze stated that
Slovenia supports the joint US-EU statement on Burma, the
statement issued by EU Presidency Chair Portugal, and the UK
proposal for strengthening sanctions against Burma.
2, (U) Slovenia requested a special session of the UN Human
Rights Council to address the deteriorating human rights
situation in Burma. Slovenia hopes that ASEAN will play a
strong and active role in pushing for democratic reforms in
Burma and that regional players such as China will use their
influence positively. Although Slovenia supports stronger
sanctions to demonstrate to the Burmese regime that the
international community condemns the government's actions,
Slovenia believes that the sanctions should be limited to
those that will not adversely affect the general Burmese
populace.
