1. (C) The Ambasassador delivered reftel demarche encouraging
support for UNGA Third Committee human rights resolutions on
Iran, North Korea, and Burma to Deputy Foreign Minister
Kairat Sarybay on November 12. The Ambassador requested
that Kazakhstan once again support the North Korea and Burma
resolutions, as it had done last year. He also urged that
Kazakhstan abstain or not be present for the vote on a
no-action motion on the Iranian resolution, rather than
voting in favor, as in previous years. He further asked that
Kazakhstan support the Iranian resolution itself, rather than
voting against it, which it had done last year. The
Ambassador gave Sarybay a non-paper with additional details
and requested that the Kazakhstani government inform us of
its voting intentions as soon as possible. Sarybay promised
that the MFA would review our request and provide a
substantive response expeditiously.
