SUBJECT: MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY TO FOREIGN MINISTERS
(S/ES: 200922459)
1. This is an action message. Please deliver the
following message from the Secretary to your host
country foreign minister. The Department does not
plan to release the text of the message, but has no
objection if the host government wishes to do so.
There will be no signed original.
2. BEGIN TEXT:
Dear Mr. Minister/Madam Minister: [or appropriate
salutation]
Building new partnerships to tackle difficult issues at
the United Nations continues to be a priority of the
United States. To that end, I hope to establish close
cooperation between the United States and [insert host
country name] at the UN to address the unacceptable
problem of racial and religious intolerance and
discrimination. As you know, I have opposed efforts to
use the concept of "defamation of religions" to suppress
freedom of expression and religion. And I will continue
to oppose any instrument that endorses restrictions on
those freedoms.
I also firmly believe that the international
community must come together more energetically to
challenge stereotyping, discrimination, intolerance,
intimidation, and violence motivated by racial or
religious hatred.
I hope to work with you and your experts to draw on best
practices around the globe to identify and promote
constructive, concrete measures that the international
community can undertake. Our countries can join together
to take steps to combat the scourge of racial and
religious discrimination and intolerance while preserving
universal human rights protections, including with
respect to freedom of expression and religion.
The United States and [insert host country name] can play
an important role in devising a new approach at the UN
that will help galvanize others and engender wider
international support.
To this end, I would like to send a team of officials and
experts to meet with counterparts in your country in the
near future. Our hope is that this will allow for a
productive exchange of views and potential development
proposals that could reduce tension and lead to broad
cross-regional support in the UN Human Rights Council at
its March session.
I deeply appreciate your government's willingness to
Accept the visit of our State Department team and to work with
us to resolve these important issues.
Sincerely yours,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
