Viewing cable 08STATE50582, UNMEE CONSULTATIONS, MAY 14, 2008

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.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #08STATE50582.

SUBJECT: UNMEE CONSULTATIONS, MAY 14, 2008 
 
 
ΒΆ1. This is an action message.  USUN is instructed to draw 
from the following discussion elements during the UN Mission 
in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) consultations on 
May 14, 2008. 
 
Begin discussion elements: 
 
-We welcome the Presidential Statement of April 30, reject 
Eritrea,s claim that it maintained good cooperation with 
UNMEE, and again reiterate the Security Council's 
condemnation of Eritrea's lack of cooperation, which has 
undermined the Mission's mandate for years, and as the 
February 15 Statement by the President of the Security 
Council noted, gravely contravenes UN Security Council 
resolutions.  There can be no cause or justification for 
Eritrea,s abusive conduct towards the Mission and its 
personnel. 
 
-We remind the Security Council that the restrictions Eritrea 
has placed on UNMEE represent a serious threat to the 
credibility of this body, and pose serious implications for 
the safety and security of peacekeepers deployed elsewhere. 
The U.S. holds Eritrea responsible for the safety and 
security of the rear guard, remaining UNMEE civilian 
personnel, and any remaining UN and contingency-owned 
equipment in its territory. 
 
-The relocation of most UNMEE personnel from Eritrea has 
removed an important element of stability in the region: 
Eritrea has remilitarized the Temporary Security Zone (TSZ); 
diplomatic efforts have yielded no progress; tensions along 
the border are high; and there is no communication between 
the parties. 
 
-It is essential that we and the parties reaffirm and remain 
committed to the Algiers Agreements and Cessation of 
Hostilities Agreement, and that Ethiopia and Eritrea make 
efforts to implement them completely.  We call upon the 
parties to not resort to the use or threat of force. 
 
-To put this commitment into practice, we call upon the 
parties to agree to meet periodically, under the auspices of 
the UN if desired, to exchange information on military and 
other activities along the border.  This is a way to avoid 
misunderstandings and address incidents.  The parties should 
also agree on mutual redeployments in sensitive areas. 
 
-Additionally, we call upon the parties to take advantage of 
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's offer of his good offices as 
a means to facilitate dialogue. 
 
-The Council must recognize the facts on the ground, and 
should expeditiously make an affirmative action to end UNMEE, 
definitively closing the books on this operation while 
thanking UNMEE's troop contributors for their service. 
Ideally, the Council would immediately establish a follow on 
UN presence that can most effectively assist the parties to 
resolve their impasse. 
 
-We appreciate Belgium's initiative to develop a way forward. 
 A UN presence in the border region may be helpful since it 
could focus on monitoring activities in the TSZ and provide a 
channel of communications between the parties. 
 
-We would consider an observer mission that is based only in 
Ethiopia with a primary focus on observation, to the extent 
possible, of the areas from which UNMEE was compelled to 
relocate.  We are also willing to consider other arrangements 
that are consistent with the Report of the Secretary General 
and agreeable to the parties.  A decision to establish a UN 
presence, however, should be made quickly. 
 
-One element of the proposal, a task force on demarcation, 
raises questions.  Our focus should be on bringing the 
parties into dialogue on how to implement the decisions of 
the Ethiopia Eritrea Boundary Commission (EEBC) to develop a 
workable boundary regime in accordance with the Algiers 
Agreement--it is up to the parties to decide how to implement 
the EEBC decision.  The international community should stand 
ready to facilitate these efforts in a strictly non-partisan 
fashion.  However, we fully agree that the parties must 
engage on issues that prevent normalized relations.  This is 
the key to reducing tensions and strengthening regional 
stability.  Unless this occurs, there can be no progress. 
 
-The Road Map proposal and appointment of an envoy may prove 
 
STATE 00050582  002 OF 002 
 
 
to be a helpful way forward, but should have the support of 
both parties.  Additionally, we would appreciate 
clarification about how this way forward would relate to 
Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon,s offer of his good offices, 
and how it could help to resolve the impasse. 
 
-We would like to conclude by again extending our thanks to 
the Troop Contributing Countries. We recognize their 
contributions, and note their sustained support even during 
times of increased insecurity of the Mission. 
 
-The U.S. also again thanks and recognizes UNMEE personnel 
for their hard work and efforts, and notes that they have 
made great contributions in maintaining peace and security in 
the region, often under dangerous and precarious 
circumstances. 
 
End discussion elements.
