VOTE
Classified By: IO A/S BRIMMER, For Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)
1. (S) This is an action request. USUN should vote for Peru
during the UN General Assembly election for a seat on the
Organizational Committee of the Peacebuilding Commission
(PBC). The other candidate country is Jamaica. Please see
background in paragraphs 2 and 3 below.
BACKGROUND
2. (C) Peru has campaigned intensely for a seat on the PBC's
Organizational Committee, arguing that it can offer specific
peacebuilding experiences and peacekeeping expertise. The
other candidate country, Jamaica, is running for a third term
and has the support of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM)
which wants to hold at least one of the five Group of Latin
American and Caribbean Countries (GRULAC) PBC Organizational
Committee seats. Additionally, Jamaica chairs the NAM caucus
for the PBC and can also likely count on considerable African
support.
3. (C) Jamaica, with its nearly five years of PBC engagement,
has been limited to vociferously arguing for developmental
assistance and money for infrastructure for countries on the
PBC's agenda. Peru would likely be more flexible and nuanced
on developing concrete options for addressing the nexus
between security and development, which the PBC represents.
