Classified By: Charge d'Affaires, for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)
(C) Poloffs met April 20 with Nelson Amaya, MFA Deputy
Director General for Foreign Policy, Ambassador Carlos Adrian
Velasco Novoa, MFA Multilateral Affairs Director, and
Egriselda Gonzalez, Desk Officer in Charge of Candidacies, to
request GOES support for the U.S. candidacy for the Human
Rights Council. Amaya told us that he expected the GOES
would support the candidacy, especially since there are three
candidates for three available slots. Embassy delivered the
HRC Pledge and declaration of candidacy to the MFA via
diplomatic note April 17. Amaya said the MFA would draft an
official response to the diplomatic note on this issue within
the coming week.
