GENERAL'S REPORT
REF: USUN 491
Classified By: IO A/S Esther D. Brimmer for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
1. (C) This is an action request. In response to reftel, the
Department requests USUN to continue to engage the UN at the
appropriate levels (UN Secretary-General Deputy Chief of
Staff, Kim Won-soo, UN SRSG Johan Verbeke, UN Under
Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Alain Le Roy, and UN Under
Secretary-General for Political Affairs Lynn Pascoe) with
regard to the name and content of the upcoming
Secretary-General,s report on Georgia.
2. (C) The Department understands that despite efforts by
USUN in New York, the Secretary-General is considering a
change in the name of the report primarily in response to
Russian pressure. USUN should continue to push back and urge
that the title of the report remain "the Situation in
Abkhazia, Georgia." However, in the alternative USUN is
authorized to support a title of "the Situation in Georgia,"
provided that the content of the report makes clear in
several places that "Georgia" in the report's title refers to
the entire territory of Georgia, including Abkhazia and South
Ossetia. The U.S. will not support a title change that
undermines Georgian territorial integrity.
3. (U) Please contact IO/UNP K.G. Moore, 202-647-0042,
moorekg@state.gov for additional background or with questions.
