Office of United Nations and International Organizations
(UNIO). Serna said that she was not aware of the no-action

promised to raise the matter immediately with the UNIO
Executive Director and to convey the U.S. position to the
Philippine Mission in Geneva at the opening of business

2. (C) Regarding the U.S. request for Philippine support for
a potential HRC action on Zimbabwe (ref a),Serna expressed
doubt that the HRC would fit another item on its agenda.

Philippine Mission in Geneva.
