SUBJECT: BENIN: TO SUPPORT HUMAN RIGHTS RESOLUTIONS AT THE UN

REF: STATE 116265

A/DCM delivered demarche to Thomas Adoumasse, Director of the Office
of International Organizations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Adoumasse assured A/DCM that he had already sent instructions to New
York to vote against all motions of no action. He noted that these
motions would only stop discussion of very important issues. The
mission in New York has also been instructed to support the
resolution. The MFA has also been approached by European missions
asking for support for the resolutions introduced by the EU.
