1. (U) Poloff discussed reftel points November 16 with
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Political Affairs Director
Wiener Jean-Baptiste and Judicial Affairs Director Fortune
Dorlean. Jean-Baptiste told Poloff that Haiti supports the
resolutions on the human rights situations in Iran, Belarus,
the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Burma. Support
for international human rights causes is important to Haiti,
he said, and Haiti does not plan to change its position.
2. (U) Poloff emphasized the importance of countering
possible no-action motions and the need for a full debate on
the human rights issues. Dorlean responded that Haiti's UN
Ambassador was keenly aware of these country resolutions as
well as possible strategies that might be used to block their
passage or stifle debate. He was not worried, he said.
Although Dorlean was certain the Minister was well aware of
the importance of supporting the resolutions, he promised to
communicate the demarche points to
Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean Renald Clerisme on November
19.
