E.O. 12958: DECL: 09/26/2016 TAGS: PHUM, PREL, NL SUBJECT: NETHERLANDS/HRC: RESPONSE TO CUBA AT HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL

REF: STATE 160278

Classified By: Political Counselor Andrew J. Schofer; reasons 1.4 (b) a nd (d).

1. (C) Poloff delivered reftel demarche 25 September to Joris Geeven, policy officer at MFA human rights division, and Peter van der Vliet, Head of the Political and Legal Affairs, UN and IFIs Department. Geeven thanked us for the information. He said the GONL had expected the Cubans to renew their effort on reftel points and that this would be a logical time for them to do it.

2. (C) Van der Vliet added, in an aside, that the GONL would be interested in knowing as soon as the U.S. has decided whether to run for a seat next year on the HRC.

3. (C) MFA Director of Western Hemisphere Affairs, Laurent Stokvis, informed DCM on January 26 that the Cubans were planning to table a resolution recognizing President Bush's stated desire to close Guantanamo and calling for an international commission to assist us in this. Stokvis stated that the Dutch mission in Geneva is in close consultation with the UK and U.S., to defeat such a resolution. ARNALL
