(C) MFA Director for Human Rights Brandusa Predescu said on
February 28 that Romania will not challenge the introduction
of the Maldives' Draft Resolution on climate change and human
rights, as expected to be presented at the March Human Rights
Council's 7th session. Predescu noted that, although Romania
is not/not a co-sponsor, there were co-sponsors among the EU
member states, and for that reason Romania would not respond
positively to the U.S. demarche. She added that, Romania
would continue to convey its position that the U.S. should
seek membership on the HRC, if it intends to have positive
leverage over its direction; "these things are difficult to
do from the outside," she noted.
