If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT: FRANCE WILL BEGIN RATIFICATION PROCESS FOR THE 
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF ACTS OF 
NUCLEAR TERRORISM 
 
REF: STATE 102149 
 
1. (SBU) French MFA counterterrorism official, Francois 
Revardeaux, told poloff at the end of July that the MFA will 
begin working in September 2007 on ratification of the UN 
International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of 
Nuclear Terrorism.  The Convention's ratification, Revardeaux 
said, required passage of new legislation by the National 
Assembly.  Now that election season was over in France, the 
MFA would begin to push the full ratification process 
following August holidays.  Revardeaux did not anticipate any 
significant impediments to the Convention's ratification. 
 
2. (SBU) Revardeaux agreed that it was important for other 
countries to sign and ratify the Convention and expressed the 
hope that France and the U.S. would soon be leading by 
example.  As an active member of the 1373 Committee, he said, 
France would continue to push for the international adoption 
of all UN Conventions related to terrorism.
