Viewing cable 05KINGSTON1538, THIRD ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL TO GENEVA CONVENTIONS

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.

On June 14, Poloff delivered reftel talking points to Pamela 
Ingleton, International Organizations Department, Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade (MFAFT).  Ingleton accepted 
the message, and acknowledged that she had received the May 
27 Swiss Circular Note.  She agreed that there is no reason 
to wait any longer to convene a diplomatic conference, and 
that delaying in anticipation of peace in the Middle East 
could mean postponing the matter indefinitely.  Asked whether 
the GOJ would indicate its support for a late-November 
conference, Ingleton replied that she would review the 
Circular Note and suggested that the GOJ might reply after 
the June 17 deadline proposed by the Swiss.  Post will report 
any further details as they become available.
