1. (C) On Tuesday, November 25, poloff delivered reftel
demarche to Secretario Ricardo Rizzo from the United Nations
Division of the Brazilian Ministry of External Relations.
Rizzo sincerely thanked poloff for the detailed information
breaking down the number of anti-Israeli resolutions compared
to other countries and added that, although he was aware that
there was a disproportionate level of anti-Israeli discourse
at the U.N., he never realized its extent until looking at
the figures. Furthermore, he noted that he was unaware of
the continuing existence of the three U.N. bodies charged
with protecting Palestinian rights or monitoring Israeli
practices and candidly admitted that it showed a "lack of
maturity" in the international system that would have to be
overcome in order to achieve progress towards peace in the
region. He noted, however, that he could only take the
points presented under advisement for the moment and that he
would have to consult with the regional desks involved with
the issue in order to provide a reaction to the demarche
points. Post will monitor and report any further reaction.
