SUBJECT: ROMANIA ON UNGA THIRD COMMITTEE RESOLUTIONS 
 
REF: STATE 145641 
 
1. (SBU) SUMMARY:  Romania is on board with most of the U.S. 
agenda for the Third Committee, but cautions that there are 
some developing EU positions on some of the thematic 
resolutions which may require greater USG flexibility, 
including on the resolutions on Religious 
Tolerance/Defamation of Religion and the Death Penalty. 
Romania also appealed to the USG to allow time for the UN 
Human Rights Council (HRC) to be more constructive.  End 
Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) Poloff discussed the U.S. priorities for the UNGA 
Third Committee (reftel) on October 23 with MFA Director for 
Human Rights, Council of Europe and OSCE Brandusa Predescu 
(who will attend the Third Committee).  Predescu noted that 
in general Romania was on board with most of the U.S. agenda, 
and would be working within the EU to press for member 
states' support for specific issues, including those on "no 
action" motions and retaliatory resolutions, as well as on 
the country specific resolutions, and on the thematic 
resolutions such as Condemning Rape as an Instrument of State 
Policy and on UN elections.  She said that the remaining 
resolutions, on religious tolerance, on defamation of 
religion, and on the death penalty, required more nuanced 
understanding and flexibility from the USG.  Predescu also 
specifically requested that the USG give the UN Human Rights 
Council a chance to evolve and to develop its secretariat. 
She added that the U.S. as a model democracy and champion of 
human rights should reconsider joining the HRC in order to 
provide the necessary ingredients to make it work. 
 
3. (SBU) On "No Action" Motions and Retaliatory Resolutions: 
Predescu affirmed that the GOR takes a "principled position" 
in favor of the U.S. position, and will share this within the 
EU.  She said Romania is opposed to these types of motions 
and resolutions "irrespective of the context." 
 
4. (SBU) On Country-Specific Resolutions:  Predescu said that 
the discussion on formalizing a common position continues in 
the EU.  The GOR has no problems supporting the U.S. 
positions, and in fact favors EU co-authorship of the 
resolutions on Iran and Belarus.  Predescu also noted that 
not only does the GOR share U.S. concerns, but also that the 
points raised were consistent with previous positions put 
forward in the HRC-Geneva (NOTE: Romania chairs the HRC). 
Predescu added that it would be especially appreciated if the 
U.S. were to take a "constructive attitude" when the HRC 
report is introduced at UNGA Third Committee, and not attempt 
to reopen discussion on issues that were already finalized in 
Geneva.  She said it is vital that the HRC receives a formal 
endorsement by the UNGA, otherwise progress will be lost, not 
simply suspended. 
 
5. (SBU) On the Resolution Condemning Rape as an Instrument 
of State Policy:  Predescu confirmed that the GOR instructed 
its delegations in Geneva, New York, and Brussels to support 
the U.S. position.  The GOR was also pressing the EU to be 
flexible and supportive especially in light of the fact that 
some member states were trying to make linkages to positions 
that may be difficult for the U.S. (i.e., CEDAW).  She said 
that Romania was pressing for EU consensus on co-authorship, 
and urged the USG to engage constructively with the EU to 
develop a draft in cooperation with EU partners. 
 
6. (SBU) On the UN Elections Program:  Predescu noted that 
the GOR along with the other EU members would co-author this 
resolution . 
 
7. (SBU) On Religious Tolerance and Defamation of Religion: 
Predescu noted that these two issues were linked, and that 
the EU had not yet reached a decision on putting forward a 
resolution on Religious Tolerance under the expectation that 
the OIC would/should give up its resolution on Defamation of 
Religion.  She noted that this was an instance where there 
was a need to consider these issues both in the Third 
Committee and the HRC, and appealed to the USG to reconsider 
its general attitude towards the HRC for the sake of not only 
the WEOG, but also for the Eastern European Group of States. 
She noted that there was a fundamental mistrust among the 
different groups on this issue and that like-minded states 
need the "positive and constructive" weight of the USG to 
counterbalance "the other camp" which currently is winning 
the propaganda campaign. 
 
8. (SBU) On the EU Death Penalty Resolution: Predescu said 
that the GOR was a strong supporter of the proposed EU 
resolution calling for a moratorium on the death penalty.

She described the GOR position as "dispassionate" to distance 
the GOR from more vocally vehement voices against the death 
penalty within the EU. She also noted that the EU was taking 
a "graduated approach" aimed at abolishing the death penalty 
worldwide.  The EU strategy would be designed to take into 
consideration differences in culture and attitude.  Predescu 
said bluntly, "we have the votes" and that it would be sad if 
the U.S. was on the wrong side on this one. She appealed to 
the USG to abstain rather than vote no, because the EU would 
be "relentless" in its strategy to move towards an 
multi-regional, institutional dialogue for a worldwide 
moratorium on the death penalty. 
 
9. (SBU) Comment: Our demarche and discussion were friendly 
and in the spirit of the close U.S.-Romanian strategic 
partnership. The differences in the U.S. and Romanian 
positions reflect an attempt to build a bridge between the 
U.S. and the EU on those issues. End Comment.
