RESPONSE
REF: STATE 47531
1. (U) On May 12, Poloff discussed draft UNSC resolution
(reftel) with Fikri Cassidy, Deputy Director for
International Security and Disarmament at the Department of
Foreign Affairs (DEPLU). Urging Indonesia's support for the
proposed resolution, Poloff emphasized that the measure was
designed to assist the Transitional Federal Government (TFG)
of Somalia and was being proposed with the TFG's support.
2. (U) Cassidy said DEPLU had already received a more
advanced draft of the resolution and had already issued
instructions regarding that draft to the Indonesian mission
in New York. In those instructions, Cassidy said, DEPLU had,
in particular, raised concerns related to the United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Cassidy did not
provide further detail regarding those instructions.
