1. (C) A/DCM met with MFA International Organizations
Director Fouad Darwish on April 9 to discuss the USG's
candidacy for the UN Human Rights Council (reftel). Darwish
was pleased to hear the news and said that he would brief the
FM later that afternoon with a recommendation that the GOB
vote for the U.S. on May 12. He asked that our delegation in
New York coordinate with the Bahraini mission ahead of the
vote.
2. (C) Comment: Darwish was effusive in his praise of the
Administration's decision to work to improve the HRC from
within, saying that, "America shouldn't be outside looking
in. We want you inside, so we can work together."
