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.

RIGHTS 
 
REF: STATE 12108 -- PRESSURING IRAN ON HUMAN RIGHTS 
 
1. (SBU) Poloff conveyed reftel demarche points to Mr. Jamal 
Sharifuddin Johan, Principal Assistant Secretary who covers 
human rights in the MFA's Multilateral Political Division, on 
February 10.  Jamal thanked Poloff for providing the U.S. 
perspective on Iran's human rights abuses, but noted that the 
GOM was finalizing its evaluation of Iran as part of the UN's 
Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process, and therefore it 
would be inappropriate for him to comment about Iran or the 
GOM's position on this issue at this time. 
 
2. (SBU) Comment: The GOM has a de facto policy of not 
criticizing the human rights record of other countries, 
except for Israel (which it sees as a 'regional issue'). With 
Iran in particular, the MFA has been consistently silent if 
the issue does not pertain to proliferation.  UPR 
considerations aside, it is unlikely that the MFA will 
provide us any additional information outside of possible 
public comments made at the UN.  End Comment.
