1. Per reftel request, US Embassy Santo Domingo confirms that
UN agency INSTRAW (UN International Research and Training
Institute for the Advancement of Women),is located in the
Dominican Republic. INSTRAW provided post with a list of
twenty-five (25) civil society organizations with which it
had some form of "affiliation" in 2008. INSTRAW officials,
being well aware of the annual reftel request, provided
assurances that, as an agency focused on the advancement of
women, support for pedophilia among its affiliated NGOs is
not accepted. Accordingly, INSTRAW does not grant any
official status, accreditation, or recognition to any
organization which promotes and condones or seeks the
legalization of pedophilia or has any subsidaries or member
organizations that do. Post spent some 2 hours of staff time
on this. Contact B Sickles in ECOPOL if needed.
