1. (C) PolOff delivered reftel demarche March 16 to Banza
Ngoy, Head of the International Organizations Directorate in
the Foreign Ministry. Ngoy said that the GDRC may be
inclined to support the creation of a new UN Independent
Expert. He added that the GDRC, with its many challenges,
has nothing to hide. Ngoy agreed that this would help to
better the DRC's image abroad.


2. (C) Ngoy said that he would forward a report of our
demarche to the Foreign Minister and to the Presidency, where
a final decision will be taken. He said that the GDRC plans
to send a delegation to the UN Human Rights Council to
address this topic.
