SUBJECT: NEW ZEALAND DEMARCHE RESPONSE - SUPPORTING NGO INVOLVEMENT
AT THE UNITED NATIONS - ECOSOC

REF: 09 STATE 68551; STATE 050902

In response to reftel, Post contacted officials at New Zealand's
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade - United Nations, Human
Rights and Commonwealth Division for comment on their position
regarding the upcoming votes to accredit the Democracy Coalition
Project (DCP) as an Non-Governmental Organization the United
Nations Economic and Social Council, and to reconsider Dynamic
Christian World Mission Foundation (DCWMF) at EcoSoc's Committee on
NGOs. Officials at the division considered our request, and Post
followed up by contacting Tom Kennedy, at that division, for a
response. Kennedy noted that they had considered the position
outlined in the demarche, and were inclined to stand with the U.S.
on this issue when the vote is called at the UN, but a definitive
response would be forthcoming as soon as they complete
consultations with their PermReps at UN.
