1. (SBU) Poloff delivered reftel demarche and nonpaper to
Dicky Komar, Deputy Director for Human Rights and
Humanitarian Affairs at the Department of Foreign Affairs
(DEPLU) on April 22. Poloff underscored that the declaration
on prisoners of conscience was an important affirmation of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. He urged
Indonesia to cosponsor the declaration being proposed by the
United States and the European Union.
2. (SBU) Komar agreed this was an important issue. He
promised to review the U.S. position with other DEPLU
officials and said that Indonesia would consider U.S. views
as it decided whether to cosponsor the declaration.
3. (SBU) Poloff also raised the matter with French Embassy
contacts. (Note: France is acting as de facto EU President
in Indonesia as Slovenia, the current EU President, does not
have a diplomatic mission in Jakarta.) The EU has had no
substantive response from the GOI on this issue.
