RESOLUTION

REF: STATE 16195

1. (C) SUMMARY: Mission reviewed reftel points regarding
Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) with
the Department of Foreign Affairs (DEPLU). Pol/C underscored
the need for a UN Security Council resolution condemning such
groups as the FDLR, the FAR and the Interahamwe. DEPLU
contact said the GOI would review the USG position, adding
that he thought that Indonesia would support the effort. END
SUMMARY.


2. (C) On February 21, Pol/C reviewed reftel points with D.
Ferdian, the Deputy Director of African Affairs at DEPLU.
Pol/C noted that a UNSCR was in the interests of the
stability of central Africa and was needed to reiterate the
UN's call on the FDLR to disarm immediately. Pol/C noted
that a UNSCR would assist in maintaining what has been
achieved in the Goma Agreement. A UNSCR would also
demonstrate the solidarity of the international community to
support African efforts to deal with this continuing threat
to the region. The FDLR must cease to be a threat to
stability.


3. (C) Ferdian replied that the GOI would need to review the
elements of the proposed UNSCR more closely. That said,
Indonesia fully supported efforts towards peace and stability
in central Africa, and would almost certainly support the
proposed UNSCR.
