1. (C/REL to Argentina) Embassy Port Louis delivered reftel
demarche on October 26, 2007, in a meeting with Mauritius'
Commissioner of Police, Ramanooj Gopalsingh. Gopalsingh
stated that he would support Argentina's position at the
Interpol General Assembly Meeting in Morocco.
2. (C/) The Commissioner of Police indicated that until now
he was unaware of the issue regarding the upcoming vote on
the Red Notices. He stated clearly that he would support
Argentina's position on the vote, based upon our
recommendation. The Commissioner has not received any voting
instructions from his government and stated that he did not
expect any to be forthcoming, as he typically receives
instructions only for votes involving appointments. Despite
his support, the Commissioner stated that he is not in a
position to intervene with other Interpol representatives on
this issue. He mentioned that Zambia is currently the chair
of their regional Interpol group and noted that an appeal to
them may shore up support in the entire region.
3. (C) Prior to the meeting with Gopalsingh, Post made
contact with the Argentine Embassy in South Africa and
obtained approval to approach the Government of Mauritius on
Argentina's behalf. Ambassador R. Carlos Sersale di Cerisano
emphasized the importance of this issue to Argentina and
provided text from the Argentine President's speech before
the UNGA on September 26. The Embassy has since relayed to
Ambassador Sersale di Cerisano the decision by the
Commissioner.
4. (U) The point of contact for this matter is RSO Brian
Roundy, 230-202-4470.
