STATE 73219 (SBU) On May 31, poloff again raised points in reftels A and B, regarding the USG position on UNSCR 1747, with MFA Chief of Multilateral Affairs Mario Rivera. Poloff urged Rivera to ensure that the GOES submits their report to the 1747 Sanctions Committee. Rivera acknowledged that the GOES should have done this by now, but said the MFA was still waiting for input from the Ministries of Defense and Public Security before they could make their report, which he hoped would be soon. Poloff shared the U.S. report contained in reftel B, and Rivera promised they would study the USG position carefully. Poloff also raised reftel A points about a broad definition of arms for UNSCR 1747. Rivera did not have an immediate reaction to this, saying only that in general terms, the GOES supports sanctions against Iran, and is worried about their noncompliance. He promised to study the issue in greater detail and present this position to the Salvadoran Ministry of Defense as well. Post will continue to follow up and report any updates on the GOES position septel. Glazer
