SUBJECT: USUN PLACE HOLD ON RWANDAN FDLR SUBMISSION AND
REQUEST INFORMATION

REF: S/AC.43/2008/NOTE.13

Classified By: IO PDAS WARLICK FOR REASONS 1.4 (B) & (D)


1. (U) This is an action request. USUN please see para 2.
Embassies Brussels, London, and Paris please see para 3.


2. (S) USUN is requested to place a hold on the names
submitted for listing by the Government of Rwanda in
S/AC.43/2008/NOTE.13 to the UN Security Council Committee
established pursuant to resolution 1533 (2004) concerning the
Democratic Republic of the Congo. USUN is also requested to
share our current list of targets in para 4 with the UN
Missions of Rwanda, France, UK, Belgium, and others as
appropriate. Please coordinate to obtain additional
information, including identifiers and to establish one
agreed list of targets that can be jointly submitted to the
DRC Committee for listing. If there are names that
governments would like listed that are not in para 4, please
request full identifiers and background on how the
individuals meet the listing criteria per UNSC Resolution

1807. Thank the Rwandan Mission for their extraordinary
effort to produce such a comprehensive submission, and
express our desire to work with them to list as many of the
individuals included in their submission as possible. Please
explain that we have reviewed the Rwandan and French lists of
proposed targets, along with other information, and we have
attempted to come up with a consolidated group of targets
that (with assistance from Rwanda, France, Belgium, the UK,
and others) we hope to be able to support with sufficient
identifying and other information for Member States to
effectively implement the sanctions. Please also explain
that, in order to implement UN sanctions, the U.S. Government
must be able to meet U.S. domestic legal requirements, which
require adequate identifying information and information
demonstrating that each individual meets the listing criteria.


3. (S) Country Teams at Embassies Paris, Brussels, and London
are requested to check all available information and approach
host governments to request additional identifying
information for the individuals listed in para 4 and any
other individuals that host government plans to submit for
listing by the UN Security Council Committee established
pursuant to resolution 1533 (2004) concerning the Democratic
Republic of the Congo. The objective is to attain adequate
identifiers so that USUN, in coordination with other UN
Missions, may propose these names for inclusion on the
consolidated travel ban and asset freeze list maintained by
the UN Security Council Committee established pursuant to
resolution 1533 (2004) concerning the Democratic Republic of
the Congo. Passport numbers and dates of birth are of
primary importance for listing. Other helpful information
includes: place of birth, aliases and AKAs used, and current
location.


4. (SBU) This is the U.S. Government's (USG) suggested
primary list of targets. Although our evaluation is not
complete, our preliminary assessment of the evidence
available to the USG indicates that there may be sufficient
available information to designate these individuals.
