1. (U) This is an action request. Please see para 3.
--------------
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE
--------------
2. (SBU) The strategic objective is for the United States to
join allies in lifting our holds on a Government of Rwanda
request to the UN Security Council Committee established
pursuant to resolution 1533 (2004) concerning the Democratic
Republic of the Congo ("the DRC Committee") to list four
individuals linked to the Forces Dmocratiques de Libration
du Rwanda (&FDLR8). Once listed, these individuals will be
subject to an asset freeze and travel ban.
--------------
ACTION REQUEST
--------------
3. (U) USUN is instructed to lift our hold as soon as
possible in the DRC Committee on the four names in para 5.
--------------
BACKGROUND
--------------
4. (SBU) The U.S., UK, Belgium, and France placed holds on
the names submitted by the Government of Rwanda in June 2008
S/AC.43/2008/NOTE.13 to the DRC Committee. The United States
thanked the Government of Rwanda for its extraordinary effort
to produce a comprehensive submission, and we expressed our
desire to work with them to list as many of the individuals
included in their submission as possible. However, the
original identifying information provided by the Government
of Rwanda was insufficient. We coordinated in New York and
in capitals to share information and to be able to jointly
lift our holds. Given events on the ground in the DRC,
allies have been anxious to take action as soon as possible.
However, in order to ensure UN sanctions are implemented in
as fair and transparent a manner as possible, we have
attempted to ensure that each listing is supported by
adequate identifying information and information
demonstrating that each individual meets the listing
criteria. The U.S. can now agree to the DRC Committee
listing the four individuals from the Rwandan submission
listed in paragraph 5.

contact.
