1. (C) Warsaw will support ECOSOC consultative status for
the Democracy Coalition Project (DCP) and will likely support
the U.S. position on the Dynamic Christian World Mission
Foundation (DCWMF). Elzbieta Gryzio of the MFA's UN and
Human Rights Department told us Poland generally supported
the inclusion of NGOs in many UN-related activities and
foresaw "no problem" with endorsing the DCP. She was less
certain about DCWMF, with which she was unfamiliar, but
thought Poland would support its deferral to the NGO
Committee.
2. (C) However, Gryzio observed that such procedural
questions would only be a sideshow to the "real challenges"
that ECOSOC will face over the next several weeks. She
highlighted the draft ministerial declaration on global
health and two Middle East-related resolutions, especially
the one on Living Conditions in the Occupied Territories, as
far more important issues on the Council's agenda, which
would probably generate considerable political controversy.
Gryzio said Poland intended to steer a moderate course
through the discussion of these issues and would likely join
any EU consensus that emerged.
