Mama bolo was formally appointed on April 3, 2017, he had been serving in an acting capacity since the previous JSRdeparted in January. Mamabolo will likely report that the situation in Darfur has evolved. The government and rebel groups are no longer engaged in active combat, except for in the Jebel Marra region of Central Darfur. As a result , the security and humanitarian situations have improved in most of Darfur , yet internally di splaced per sons (IDPs) - of which there remain 2.6 million - still face significant insecurity, mostly from government forces, but also from armed militias and criminal elements . He will report on continued unre st over land owner ship, as former IDPs attempt to return home to find their properties occupied by others, resulting in armed clashes. He will also report on progress towards the political process, di sarmament of militias, reconciliation and accountability, and the rule of law. The government of Sudan, led by ICC indictee Omar al-Bashir , has never been a partner to the UN and has a terrible human rights record . However , Darfur today is less dangerous than it was when the Council created UNAMIDwith resolution 1769 in 2007. The UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) is currently working to finish a strategic review of the mission that will likely conclude that a 30 percent reduction in troops would be acceptable . Privately, some in DPKO have told us that the mission could still carry out its core functions with greater reductions . We should use this meeting to signal that the United States is open to restructuring the mission, but that the government of Sudan will need to show it can be a credible partner . These UNAMID meetings are usually held in a private format, so this open briefing presents a rare opportunity for Council members to publicly react to the situation in Darfur.

He will also certainly provide the latest update about yesterday's attack in Khan Shaykhun. Kim's replacement, Ms. Izumi Nakamitus (Japan) will be present but will not speak during the consultations. This will be the first time the Council is meeting on chemical weapons since Russia and China vetoed the P3's accountability resolution on February 281 B5 Chemical weapons attacks: This is the worst chemical weapons attack in over three years. International press reporting indicates at least 72 people have died and over 100 wounded. A Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman told the NY Times today that Syrian warplanes had struck a rebel storehouse containing chemical weapons. Syria sent a note to the Security Council yesterday blaming terrorists for conducting the attack with the support ofTurkey, European and Western resources. International reports are suggesting that given the sheer number of deaths, it is possible that another chemical agent other than chlorine-which has been the chemical predominately used by Syria during the past three years-could have been used in the attack.

OPCW: Kim will brief the OPCW Director-General's report from March 27 2017, which indicates there are still gaps and inconsistences in Syria' s reporting, suggesting that Syria still retains an active chemical weapons program. Kim will also report that the OPCW Fact-Finding Missions (FFM) are still investigating allegation s of chemical weapon s use in Syria and have already been dispatched to Syria to begin investigating yesterday's attack. I JIM operations: The Council renewed the JIM' s mandate in November, but it has not reached full strength because of budgetary delays and slowness in posting vacancies. The three person leadership panel is not finalized either; Virginia Gamba is still the head, one new deputy is still completing paperwork to come on board , and the last deputy position has not been filled .

A peace agreement last year brought an end to 52 years of conflict between the Colombian government and the FARC, a leftwing narco-trafficking terrorist organization. The MVM (a UN special political mi ssion or SPM) has been monitoring the government-FARC ceasefire and the FARC'sdisarmament process since the beginning of the year. The Colombians will ask the UN to provide continued monitoring of element s of the agreement once disarmament is complete - which should happen this summer. This would mean the SPM would continue its work - with a reduced footprint - for the next 2-3 years!

The current mandate expires on June 30, and this is a quarterly briefing mandated by Resolution 2295 (2016). USGJean-Pierre LaCroix will brief and Mali Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop will participate. France is the penholder for MINUSMA and will speak first. Political Developments and the Peace Agreement: Progress on the peace agreement signed by the three parties (the government, the CMA and Platform) in 2015 has two months remaining in its two year interim period, after which the commitments will need to be renewed. The Government has been slow to deliver on its commitment to establish authorities in the North that could provide services, while the armed groups often resist participation on items established in the peace agreement they feel are unfavorable . Security Situation: The security situation remains volatile in northern and central Mali. Extremist attacks against Malian , French and MINUSMA forces have become more frequent, including a January 18 attack on 600 members of the Malian armed forces, CMA and Platform training in advance of launching a joint patrol, which killed 54 people. In February, after much delay, the government adopted an integrated security plan for the central regions. MINUSMA: MIN USMA continues to struggle to implement its mandate due to the hostile environment , lack of proper equipment, and a diffuse mandate from the Security Council. MINUSMA is the UN's fourth largest peacekeeping operation, with 13000 troops and police and an approved 2016-2017 budget of $933.4M (U.S. share: $266M). Sanctions: After shelving a proposal to circulate a sanctions resolution in late January, France has indicated it plans to circulate a sanctions resolution in the next few weeks. While in principal we support sanctions against political spoilers in Mali , we have urged France to consider using other sanctions regimes, such as the ISIL/AI Qaeda regime, to target spoilers rather than creating a new sanctions mechanism. Humanitarian Situation: Of the total population of 18 million, 3.7 million people are in need of food, water, health care, and education. Fifteen schools closed since October 2016, bringing the number of closures up to 436 of 2,380 schools in the country, due to insecurity and the influence of radical extremist groups opposed to education. Since 2013, over 540,000 people who were displaced have returned, STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000147 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2017-16725 Doc No. C06613437 Date: 03/07/2019 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2017-16725 Doc No. C06613437 Date: 03/07/2019 with 141,000 remaining in neighboring countries.

Rauhut, Stephen Townley Background: * A country once synonymous with 'state collapse,' Somalia's election of President Farmaajo in February was an important step towards one-person, one-vote elections in 2020. Al Shabaab was expelled from Mogadishu in 2011 by forces of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM),but remains a potent threat and controls swathes of the country. Several poor rainy seasons have resulted in widespread drought . More than half of the country requires food assistance, and there is a risk of famine. * AMISOM, established in 2007, is an AU-led mission authorized by the Security Council that conducts counterterrorism operation s against Al Shabaab. The European Union pays the salaries of the 22,126 AMISOM troops . With a cost of $2B to date, in 2016, the EU cut its stipend payment s by 20% due to transparency concerns and to redirect its African security assistance. The AU has called for the stipend cuts to be restored, and AMISOM has signaled that it will begin withdrawing in October of 2018. There is not yet a viable Somali security partner to whom to hand over responsibility. * In 2009, the Council authorized the provision of a UN logistical support package to AMISOM. The UN Support Office in Somalia (UNSOSprovides non-lethal support (rations, transportation, and medical evacuation to AMISOM and the nascent Somali National Army), and has a 2016-17 budget of $593M (U.S. share: $168M) . * During the Deep Dive, Robert Kris and Steve Gee will discuss the security and political situation in Somalia, an outstanding request from the AU for UN support for an additional 4,500 AMISOM troops , which we expect the UK will propose in May, the upcoming renewals of UNSOSand AMISOM in May, and the UN political mission (UNSOM) in June.

POL will provide deep background on where things stand today. Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas, and the United States is the largest bilateral donor. After a year-long delay, Haiti finally completed its Presidential elections last November. MINUSTAH has been present in Haiti since 2004. The country has stabilized a great deal since that time, and as a result MINUSTAH's troop and police personnel levels are the lowest they have ever been -they are currently at 2,370 and 2,601 respectively (in the police levels, there are eleven Formed Police Units [FPUs] which are quasi-military crowd control police). The new mission will remove the military component completely, and leave a reduced UN police presence to train and support the Haitian National Police. This election was a major step towards consolidating Haiti's democracy gains over the past twenty years, and much needed to provide a stable platform for the socioeconomic and institutional development Haiti desperately needs. Washington has had a long-abiding interest in Haiti, both due to its geographical proximity and concern about refugee flows due to chronic natural disasters and political crises, our shared history (the U.S. invaded Haiti in 1915 and stayed through 1934), as well as the over 800,000 Haitians and Haitian-Americans residing in the United States.

By week ' s end, we will establish a new mission, the UN Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), which will be operational as of October 15, 2017. UN Special Representative for the Secretary-General Sandra Honore will brief the Council in the open chamber on the political , security, humanitarian , and human rights situation in Haiti, as well as next steps for drawing down MINUSTAH over the next six months. She will focus on the need for continued international assistance to Haiti. In addition to Council members , Group of Friends of Haiti members will also speak in the Council. You will deliver remarks in the open chamber. Haiti is the poore st country in the Americas . MIN USTAH has been present there since 2004. The country has stabilized a great deal since that time, and as a result MINUSTAH' s troop and police personnel levels are the lowest they have ever been -they are currently at 2,370 and 2,601 respectively, down from a peak of 8930 in 2011 (following the 2010 earthquake) .

Topic: Peacekeeping in Abyei (the Sudans) Background: UNISFA(UN Interim Security Force in Abyei) * The June 2011 establishment of the peacekeeping mission in Abyei, the contested and oil-rich area of land between Sudan and South Sudan, was spearheaded by the United States to address violence and escalating tensions between Sudan and South Sudan as South Sudan became independent from Sudan. UNISFAwas established as an interim mission and was meant to be in place as a temporary measure (for only 6 months) to re-establish security pending a final agreement on the status of Abyei. Six years later, Abyei 's status still has not been resolved and UNISFA's mission continues. *Weare the penholder.

France resisted changing UNISFA's mandate from four to six months (given UNISFA's interim nature) but agreed to do so at the last mandate renewal, making clear they would not agree to extending the mandate beyond six months for future renewals . UNISFA's mandate must be renewed by May 15. * The authorized strength of UNISFA is 5,326 of which there were 4,486 UN peacekeepers deployed as of December 2016. The current annual budget for the 2016-2017 cycle for UNISFAtotals $268.6 million, or approximately 3.4 percent of the total $7.87 billion peacekeeping envelope. The U.S. share of the UNISFAbudget is $76.81 million. * During the Deep Dive, Bindi Patel, Steve Gee, and Mike Rauhut will briefly lay out the mission for you, will advise on the options for the UNISFAmandate (including possible reductions), and will seek your guidance on the way forward in advance of UNISFAconsultations and mandate negotiations.

His briefing comes one week after U.S. strikes on Shayrat Airfield in response to the use of chemical weapons by the Asad regime and one week before the next round of Astana ceasefire talks in Tehran . On April 10, he told you that he believes the U.S. strikes in Syria have created an opening and new leverage to push the political process forward.

On April 11, Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced FMLavrov will host talks with his counterparts from Syria and Iran this week. The meeting publicly signals Russia's commitment to its alliance with Iran and Syria, but the outcomes from Secretary Tillerson's meeting with Lavrov may impact the trilateral. On April 10, Secretary Tillerson traveled to Moscow following a G-7 meeting in Lucca, Italy. In Lucca, the G-7 Ministers agreed that there can be no peace solution for war-torn Syria with President Bashar al-Assad in power. Military Update: The Syrian regime reacted to the U.S. airstrikes with intensified campaigns against the opposition in ldlib, Ham a, and the Damascus suburbs. Although there have been no credible reports of CW usage since April 4, the regime has reverted to "conventional weapons" including barrel bombs and incendiary munitions. In addition, the regime continues its sieges on hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians, most notably in the Damascus suburbs. INe,t Ro,nd ofTalks, The Syrian opposition celebrated the airstrikes on Shayrat Airfield and urged the U.S. to become more actively involved, especially when delivering punitive responses to the Asad regime. We are carefully managing message and expectations because the opposition also runs the risk of becoming over confident and uninterested in the political process. This UNSCsession is key in emphasizing that a political process is available and all countries must influence all relevant parties to advancing this process.

Ask the SG how he sees the UN's role in Iraq shifting once the Mosul battle concludes and over the coming year. * Emphasize U.S. support for the UK proposal for an investigative mechanism to collect and preserve evidence of 1515atrocities in Iraq, but also highlight that this is a complex issue and any Council action needs to be taken in close consultation with the Government of Iraq . * Explain that the United States will be looking at the UNAMI mandate renewal in July [the United States holds the pen] with an eye toward ensuring UN resources are put to their best use and meet Iraq' s current and future needs. Note: The United States had an opportunity to weigh in on the UK's revised draft 1515accountability resolution, which was shared with the Iraqis last week, but other governments (including France) have not seen the modified proposal. The main change to the proposal was the assurance that Iraqis would have a say on end-u ses of collected evidence, coupled with a re-branding of the mechanism as an "investigative assistance mission" to signal it s complementary function to Iraq' s own judicial processes. The UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) is the second-largest special political mission in the UN system, with an annual budget of $117.5 million . The United States has contributed $1.1 billion to the UN humanitarian effort in Iraq since the war against 1515began in 2014. 2. Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC):I B5 3.

Background: Faki is the former Foreign Minister of Chad, and was a reliable partner, including when Chad served on the Security Council from 2014-15. This is Faki's highest level meeting with the new U.S. Administration. The United States was often at odds with Faki's predecessor, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma (South Africa), and this is a good opportunity to establish an important relationship early in Faki's tenure. The African Union leads the UN-authorized peace support operation in Somalia (AMI SOM), and it jointly runs the peacekeeping operation in Darfur, Sudan with the UN (UNAMID). The AU also has a large political role in conflict resolution throughout Africa, including South Sudan, Sudan, DRCand CAR. Peace and Security Commissioner Smail Chergui (Algeria) will also attend the meeting- Chergui was recently re-elected to another four year term as Commissioner for Peace and Security, and he has played an out-sized role in peace and security affairs in Africa. Political Affairs Commissioner Mina ta Samate Cessouma (Burkina Faso) may also join. UN-AU Relations: Express your hope that the United States, as well as the UN Security Council, will continue to deepen its already strong partnership with the African Union. (If Raised) SC/AU PSCConsultations: South Sudan: Faki has prioritized South Sudan peace. Underscore support for the shuttle diplomacy of the AU High Representative Mr. Alpha Oumar Kanan~. The AU, the region (IGAD), and the UN need to have a coordinated approach to how to address the political issues in South Sudan. There will be no peace in South Sudan unless we combat impunity and the Hybrid Court meets the South Sudanese people's demand for justice. We would like to see the AU move forward with this initiative and underscore that the funds we provided for the Hybrid Court expire at the end of June, and the inability to use the funds jeopardizes future funding from other external donors. Background: The AU High Representative for South Sudan Kanan~, a former president of Mali, is engaging in shuttle diplomacy between South Sudanese parties, but there has been little progress so far. While we are prepared to give his efforts more time, we don't want to see an open-ended process, and we continue to push the UN to work with the AU and the region to devise a plan for the way forward to coordinate engagement. The AU is responsible for establishing a Hybrid Court for South Sudan per the 2015 peace agreement. There has been little movement on this since 2015, despite a push by the STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000188 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

Libya: Assure Faki that the United States maintains its position that there is no military solution to Libya's ongoing crisis.

Human Rights in the Security Council: Human rights feature prominently in the Charter of the United Nations. Promoting the respect for human rights is one of the UN's purposes and principles. For decades, human rights had been seen as largely outside the scope of the Security Council. Over time, the Security Council has become relatively more engaged in viewing human rights as an important factor in situations that it addresses. More than half of the current peacekeeping and political missions have human rights-related tasks in their mandates, and several Security Council-established sanctions regimes include serious human rights violations or abuses as a criterion for adding individuals to travel ban lists or asset freeze lists. The Council has a range of tools, such as commissions of inquiry, judicial mechanisms, visiting missions, or sanctions, to try to address human rights issues. However, addressing human rights in the Security Council remains extremely controversial for Russia and China and for some elected Council members, particularly Egypt and Bolivia. Council members who strongly prioritize state sovereignty (and lack of scrutiny for their governments' own human rights abuses) continually argue that discussions about human rights belong solely in the General Assembly's Third Committee and the Human Rights Council. Human Rights at the UN: Human rights issues are integrated into the work of the UN through a variety of bodies. The General Assembly's Third Committee is the human rights mechanism made up of all 193 member states, and it has adopted resolutions focused on countryspecific human rights violations (Iran, Syria, DPRK,Burma, Ukraine) as well as thematic human rights topics (ex. rights of the child, extrajudicial killings, torture). The Human Rights Council is the standing body of the UN created to focus specifically on human rights issues. The Human Rights Council was created to respond, in part, to urgent human rights crisis situations through special sessions. It also creates mandates for UN Special Rapporteurs (independent experts tasked with looking into thematic or country human rights issues) or Commissions of Inquiry, which can be dispatched to look into urgent issues. The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights is the office of the UN secretariat tasked with carrying out the UN's human rights priorities . Headed by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, OHCHRhas country offices around the world that provide technical assistance to countries. These bodies do not explicitly explore how human rights violations can cause international instability, however, since international peace and security is the mandate of the Security Council.

An update from the UNSCR1970 Sanctions Committee will follow. Libyan DPRAmbassador Elmajerbi will likely speak at the open briefing. Your remarks emphasize the United States' continued support for a political solution to the ongoing crisis in Libya, and underscore the danger of renewed violent conflict playing into the hands of ISISand other extremist groups. Political Update: The LPA has failed to deliver much progres s since its ratification by the House of Representatives (HoR) in Tobruk in January 2016. While the LPA-created Presidency Council (PC) and acting cabinet have made progress on some areas - namely counterlSIS operations in Sirte and delivering a budget - lack of agreement STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000199 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

Despite months of efforts by the international community to make progress on government formation, the stalemate has left most partners convinced that the only way forward is through modifying the LPAto better accommodate Easterners, most notably "Libyan National Army" (LNA)commander General Khalifa Hafter. The HoR in Tobruk and the Tripoli-based State Council (a west-skewing elected advisory body to the GNA) are weighing a "15-plus-15" plan to send 15 delegates from each body to modify specific sections of the LPA to enable government formation. Security Update: The security situation in Libya remains fraught. Though ISIShas lost its contiguous territory around Sirte, fighting between Libyan factions threatens to undermine these successes. Haftar's LNA continues to seize pockets of territory from other armed groups. The LNA last month attacked an airbase near Sabha, in central Libya, held by GNA-aligned Misratan militias, bringing the LNA closer to direct combat with the UN-recognized government. Meanwhile, ongoing clashes in Tripoli have quieted following a fragile March ceasefire, though concern remains that such quietness could be temporary, should Libya's factions fail to make progress on a political framework. The lack of a unified government force, coupled with the GNA's struggles to deliver essential services such as healthcare, water, and sanitation, have further exacerbated the security situation. Sanctions: UN sanctions on Libya include an arms embargo, asset freeze, travel ban, and interdiction measures related to illicit crude oil exports and illicit arms imports. The Chair of the 1970 "Libya" sanctions Committee, the Swedish PermRep, Ambassador Skoog will brief on the work of the Committee since he last briefed the Council in February. We remain concerned about periodic attempts to illicitly export Libyan oil, likely to fund non-GNA forces and actors.

The UN Monitoring and Verification Mission (MVM) has been monitoring the government-FARC ceasefire and the FARC's disarmament process since the beginning of the year. The Colombians will ask the UN to provide continued monitoring of elements of the agreement once disarmament is complete this summer. This would mean the UN special political mission would continue its work- with a reduced footprint-for the next 2-3 years. Holguin wants the second phase of the mission to be established through the General Assembly - which we do not support, as it would weaken our control and oversight over the mission. B5 1.4(0) B1 I On April 6, Vice President Oscar Naranjo, a former general with a proven track record of negotiating with the FARC,and other senior Colombian government players brought together international representatives, including the U.S. Ambassador to Bogota, to request specific international "accompaniment" of the peace accord. Such support will include financial cooperation, technical cooperation, and monitoring. ~-------------- Talking Points: B5 STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000205 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

Rooney also wants you to know that he can offer his support in Congress as you move forward on South Sudan. Rooney will likely tell you that he believes there is value in deployment of the Regional Protection Force (a 4,000-per son force authorized by the Council in August 2016 but not yet deployed) . He may also press you on an arms embargo, and may recommend using the arms embargo as leverage to get the government to allow the Regional Protection Force.

In 1991, MIN URSOwas established through UN Security Council resolution 690 (1991) in accordance with settlement proposals accepted by both parties, Morocco and the Polisario. Originally established to provide a transition period and prepare for a referendum in which the people of Western Sahara would choose between independence and integration with Morocco, the mission's mandate has evolved significantly since 1991. *Weare the penholder. On April 30, 2016, in resolution 2285 (2016), the UNSCextended the mandate of MINURSO for one year in one of the most controversial mandate renewals of the year. It was adopted with 10 votes in favor, two against (Uruguay and Venezuela), and three abstentions (Angola, New Zealand, and Russia). Those who abstained and voted no stated they did so because the resolution did not hold Morocco accountable for the expulsion of MINURSO civilian staff in March 2016. France, a staunch supporter of Morocco, prevented harder language from being included during negotiations. * MIN URSO,with an annual budget of $57 million, has 214 military observers and 27 troops charged with patrolling both sides of a 1,700 mile-long sand berm separating the two sides of the conflict. They are unarmed and supported by 71 international staff and 159 local civilian staff. * During the Deep Dive, Amy Tachco and Leslie Ord em an will discuss the Western Sahara conflict, the role of the Personal Envoy of the Secretary General to find a political solution, and the role of MIN URSO in monitoring the thirty-year-old ceasefire.

Your remarks focus Assad's continued use of siege-andstarve tactics and refusal to grant life-saving humanitarian access to besieged areas. Humanitarian Situation: At least 13.5 million people in Syria require humanitarian assistance-two-thirds of the remaining population. This includes 6 million people in "acute" need (wholly dependent on aid) and an estimated 643,700 people living in 13 besieged areas. Access to date in 2017 is at abysmal levels. Since January, the UN has been able to reach fewer than 13 percent of the 4.9 million people in besieged and hard-to-reach areas. This is due to the Syrian Government's repeated denials of UN requests, their artificial claims that the UN is overestimating the number of people in need, and their removal of supplies from convoys. The Syrian regime has also refused to grant the UN access to any areas that it is besieging. Medicine and medical supplies continue to be removed from convoys. Evacuation Agreements: Last month, Iran and Qatar brokered an agreement for the evacuation of the "Four Towns"-two besieged by Hizballah (Madaya and Zabadani) and two Shia-majority towns besieged by AI-Nusra Front (Foah and Kafraya). The agreement reportedly covered up to 30,000 people and would result in a nearcomplete evacuation of the four towns. (As with nearly every previous "reconciliation" agreement in Syria, the UN was cut out of negotiations and is not supervising the evacuations. These deals essentially amount to forced demographic change.) On April 15, during the second round of evacuations from the "Four Towns", a car bomb exploded at the Al Rashedeen exchange point, killing 130 people-including 67 children-and injured 275 others. No group has claimed responsibility. However, the VBIED attack appeared to be targeting a group of people from Foah and Kafraya, besieged towns aligned with the regime. Battlefield Update: Violence across Syria remains high. Over the weekend, the Syrian military and its allies continued to push back recent opposition gains using "scorched earth" techniques that include phosphorous and incendiary bombs in civilian areas, according to opposition sources. The main Damascus suburb still held by the opposition, Eastern Ghouta, has also seen heavy fighting as the regime and its allies chip away at the opposition's territory there. The Syrian regime has targeted and shut down many smuggling tunnels into the area that had previously facilitated a flow of food and medical supplies. In the counter-lSIS fight, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) led by Syrian Kurds have made progress in the fight for Tabqa, a strategic town 34 miles east of Raqqah. On April 25, Turkish military jets struck Kurdish forces in Syria and Iraq, citing self-defense against Kurdish terrorist activities in Turkey . Strikes in Syria targeted the YPG, STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000262 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

The Turks probably did this to send the United States a warning, discouraging cooperation with the Syrian Kurds in the counter-I5I5 campaign. Political Developments: On April 19, Russia, Turkey, and Iran concluded a round of technical Astana-process talks in Iran . They are trying to finalize a monitoring and verification mechanism for the tattered ceasefire. The next round of official talks in Astana will take place in early May, before UN Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura aims to host the next round oftalks in Geneva probably in mid-May. While the Syrian regime continues to stall, block, and obstruct negotiations, its brutal tactics on the ground continue. Russia and Iran' s support for the Assad regime appear s ironclad - regardle ss of regime actions. As the political process stagnates, violence on the ground continues unabated and Iran and Russia's increased support for the brutal regime has only forced the moderate opposition groups to cooperate with Al-Qaeda out of desperation.

In 2016, Johnson was the leading spokesman for the " Leave" campaign in the run-up to the UK's national referendum on whether the UK should remain a member of the European Union ("Brexit"). Johnson had been a favorite to serve as Prime Minister after UK voters narrowly voted to leave the EU, but Theresa May became Conservative Party leader and Prime Minister instead after Conservative Party infighting. His bumbling demeanor and occasionally irreverent remarks have made him a perennial favorite for the British media. In 1997, Johnson lost his first election for the House of Commons, his initial foray into UK politics. He later won a seat in 2001 as a Conservative candidate repre senting a district near London. He survived a number of political scandals and was reelected to his parliamentary seat in 2005. Johnson was elected Mayor of London in 2008 and reelected in 2012. In 2015, he returned to the House of Commons when the Conservative Party captured its first clear parliamentary majority since the 1990s. Johnson was born in 1964 in New York City, although he later renounced his U.S. citizenship. As a child, he lived in New York City, London, and Brussels before attending Oxford. He worked briefly in consulting and then in journalism from 1987-2005. He has written numerous books, including a biography of Winston Churchill and a historical survey of the Roman Empire. fdci;iv, Apd! n, WU Time 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000268 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

May 16- Colombia Trip Briefing: Colombia mission co-leaders Uruguay and the UK will brief the Council on the trip. May 17 - Somalia/Eritrea "751/1907" Sanctions Consultations: Kazakh Perm Rep Umarov, in his capacity as Committee Chair, will brief the Council in closed consultations on the activities of the sanctions Committee, with a focus largely on Eritrea sanctions and the Somalia and Eritrea Monitoring Group's midterm report released in April. Council members will be expected to share their views and assessments on Eritrea sanctions. Following the discussion, the UK as penholder for the regime will take stock of Council member views and develop a sanctions roadmap (expected in late May) that Eritrea would be expected to fulfill in order for the Council to consider eventually Iifting sanctions. May 18- Syria Political Briefing and Consultations: Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura (TBC)will brief the Council on next steps for the resumption of intra-Syrian political talks in Geneva and on prospects for both parties to discuss governance, a constitution, elections, and counterterrorism and security. The timing of this briefing may shift because the next round of Geneva talks is not currently scheduled. De Mistura aims to reconvene the parties sometime in mid-May in Geneva after the next round of ceasefire talks between Russia, Iran, and Turkey in Astana during the first week of May. May 18- Bosnia and Herzegovina Debate: This is the semi-annual debate on Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).

Konare has already declined to address the Council on two previous occasions this year. May 23 - Middle East Briefing and Consultations: Special Envoy Nickolay Mladenov (TBC)will brief the Council. We will continue to urge that he broaden his brief beyond the Israeli-Palestinian issue, as he did in April, and encourage Council members again to avoid allowing another Israel-bashing session.

May 24- UNAMI (UN Assistance Mission for Iraq) Briefing: SRSGJan Kubis will brief the Council on the status of the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Iraq, likely focusing on the ongoing counter-I5I5 efforts in Mosul, but also efforts to facilitate lasting political reconciliation between Iraq's sects and factions. This will mark Kubis' last briefing to the Council before we negotiate and adopt a renewed mandate for UNAMI, on which we hold the pen. May 24- North Korea "1718" Sanctions Committee Consulations: Italian Perm Rep Sebastiano Cardi (TBC), in his capacity as 1718 Chair, will brief the Council on implementation of UN sanctions against North Korea.

SGGuterres (TBC)will brief on the implementation of a landmark resolution (Resolution 2286, from 2016) on protection of healthcare facilities in armed conflict, which the Council adopted one year ago. Uruguay also plans to have two civil society representatives brief the Council. No product is expected. This may be a difficult meeting; many Council members will no doubt focus on attacks against medical facilities by Bashar Al-Assad, but there will also be criticism of the Saudi-led Coalition's bombing of hospitals and clinics in Yemen. May 25 - Monthly Council Lunch with the SG: The Secretary-General's staff will inform the Council about the issues he would like to raise a few days before the lunch. With the Uruguayan Foreign Minister expected to chair the open debate that day, he probably will host the lunch.

B5 Why did the Trump Administration recently decide to not fund UNFPA and what will be the effect on women' s health around the world? Background: President Trump's Presidential Memorandum in January ensured that taxpayer dollars were not funding coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization programs, and therefore, the Department of State made a determination to withdraw funding to UNFPA-- totaling $32.5 million. This policy consistently changes when the White House changes: The Bush Administration withheld funding from UNFPAfrom 2002 to 2008 , while the Obama Admini stration provided funding from 2009 to 2016.

Background: * The Congressional omnibus budget maintains the 25 percent cap on U.S. peacekeeping assessments authorized in the 1994-1995 Foreign Relations Authorization Act. As a result, the UN will assessthe U.S. more than we can pay. The omnibus provides full funding in FY17 for our contribution to the regular budget.

This includes policy on accountability for sexual exploitation and abuse. * The Secretary-General is requesting a $7.97 billion peacekeeping budget for July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 . This budget, covering 14 field missions (including UNSOS,which supports AMISOM in Somalia) and headquarters support, is a 1 percent increase ($82.7m) over the current '16/17 budget of $7.87 billion . This increase is due mainly to expansions in Mali, Somalia, and South Sudan. (The budget reque st is based on existing mandates as of February 2016, and does not reflect mandate changes for MONUSCO and MINUSTAH). The General Assembly will need to adjust the budgets to reflect those realities . In addition , we believe the budgets can be significantly reduced further . * The United States is the single largest contributor to the UN peacekeeping budget (by a factor of more than two) and pays more than the rest of the P-5 combined. This gives us leverage and as such, the Secretary-General and other Member States need to work with us to make these reductions a reality.

At least 5,100 seaborne migrants en route to Europe died in the Mediterranean in 2016. The EU has asked UNHCRand the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to establish centers in Libya where refugee cases could be heard before asylum-seekers reach Europe and migrants could be processed for return to their home countries. Both have agreed as long as protection concerns can be met. The EU also trains and equips the Libyan Coast Guard to bolster search and rescue capabilities while deterring dangerous journeys. B5 Background: USUN works very closely with the EU delegation, particularly on management reform and development issues (e.g., the Quadrennial Comprehensive Policy Review). Like-Minded DPRs (including the EU) have recently met with the DSG (and soon will meet the CdC) on the SG's reform agenda, and should continue to deliver strong, coordinated messages. Background: The EU has been one of the leading voices on pushing back against countries trying to close off the UN to civil society voices.

Conference participants endorsed a new national security architecture, recently agreed by the Federal Government of Somalia and its newly constituted federal member states, that defines the size of the future Somali National Army and police forces. The 22,126-strong African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) has indicated its intent to withdraw completely from Somalia by 2020, but recently, the African Union has committed to a conditions-based withdrawal. Many AMISOM TCCsare eager to depart Somalia, and they have emphasized that they currently lack a Somali partner to whom to transfer security responsibilities. B5 The United States is currently identifying ways that we can support the new national security architecture, and the upcoming AU-UN joint review of AMISOM offers an opportunity to adjust AMISOM's configuration to support this new architecture . Somalia has committed to holding one-person, one-vote elections in 2021. Secretary Mattis was originally scheduled to meet with SecretaryGeneral Guterres on the margins of the London Conference, but the meeting was cancelled due to scheduling constraints. On May 4, Navy SEALSenior Chief Petty Officer Kyle Milliken was killed during an advise and assist mission alongside Somali forces. Two more Americans were wounded in that operation.

Background: Recent engagement: Our last senior engagement with Australia was May 4, when POTUSmet PM Turnbull in NY at a commemoration of the Battle of the Coral Sea and delivered public remarks praising the alliance. POTUS'sremarks were generally well received in Australia and seemed to have moved the relationship beyond the negative press surrounding the earlier POTUS-PMphone call. Upcoming engagement: Sec. Tillerson and Sec. Mattis are meeting with their Australian counterparts on June 5-6 to discuss the full range of US/Australian cooperation. POTUSis also expected to attend the two major Asian summits in Southeast Asia this November: the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)Summit in Vietnam and the East Asia Summit (EAS)in Manila.

UN Reform to Reduce Agenda Duplication :! Background: The President of the General Assembly tasked Australia and Argentina with conducting Member States consultations on aligning the work of UN entities (the General Assembly, ECOSOC,the High Level Political Forum, etc.) to support implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

UN Interim Force in Lebanon fUNIFILl Maritime Taskforce (if raisedl: Background: In current budgetary negotiations for UNIFIL we have propo sed at $34m reduction in the mission's operating costs. The largest cost-driver for the mission' s operations is its naval component (the Maritime Taskforce). Germany contributes one of the seven ships in thi s Taskforce, and they are concerned about its future. We feel that the Maritime Taskforce is ineffective , especially given its $50m price tag . Discussions on UNIFIL's budget are in the early stages, and we will continue to coordinate with Germany as we move forward. Confirmed Attendees : 1. The Honorable Nikki Haley 2. Mr. Michael Haley 3.

June 2- UNOCI (UN Operation in Cote d'Ivoire) Briefing: SRSG Aichatou Mindaoudou will brief on the closure of the 13-year-old mission, which concluded activities on April 30 and will complete liquidation by June 30. June 6- Preventive Diplomacy and Transboundary Waters Briefing: Bolivian President Evo Morales will preside over this event-to which foreign ministers will be invited - and SGGuterres will brief the Council. The meeting is one of Bolivia's signature events for the month. Bolivia has presented this meeting as a follow-ur-p_t_o_a__ ~ November 2016 meeting on water, peace and security, June 7- ICTY/ICTR(International Tribunals) Debate: ICTY (International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia) President Carmel Agius, MICT (International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals) President Theodor Meron, and ICTY& MICT Prosecutor Serge Brammertz will present their semi-annual reports to the Security Council. Included in their reports will be an assessment of how the phased handover of the ICTY'sremaining work to the "residual" Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT), established by UNSCresolution in December 2010, is going. (The ICTR - Rwanda Tribunal - closed its doors at the end of 2015, and the ICTY is expected to finish its work at the end of this year.) In addition to Council members, Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia are expected to deliver remarks, per normal practice. The Council's Informal Working Group on the International Tribunals will also be meeting in connection with the Security Council meeting, where Serbia's continued noncooperation with the ICTY,as well as Turkey's continued detention ofMICT Judge Aydin Sefa Akay (a Turkish national), are virtually certain to be raised. June 7- UNSMIL (UN Support Mission in Libya) Consultations: The Council meets every 60 days to consider the political situation in Libya. Provided a replacement is announced, SRSGKobler may deliver his final briefing to the Council - though the UK may push for SG Guterres to attend in person, to signal his support for revitalizing the political process. Also in June, the Council is due to renew two Libya sanctions resolutions - the a nn ua I authorization for the inte rd icti on of vessels believed to be transporting arms to Libya (expiring June 14) and, by the end of June, the mandate for both the Libya Panel of Experts sanctions monitoring team and the interdiction authority for vessels trying to illicitly export Libyan crude oil (which we hope to expand). The UK is penholder for Libya. June 8-Terrorism Briefing: USGfor Political Affairs Jeff Feltman will brief in the chamber on the gravity of the ISILthreat, per resolution 2253 (2015), which requests the Secretary-General to provide a STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000396 UNCLASSIFIED U.S .

Our goals for the meeting are to highlight U.S.-led efforts to defeat ISILand underscore the need for resolute UN action against the ISILthreat. June 8- Sudan ICC (International Criminal Court) Briefing: ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda will present her semi-annual briefing on the situation in Darfur. As in past briefings, the Prosecutor may draw attention to the lack of execution of the outstanding arrest warrants and lack of follow-up by the Security Council to its referral. Bensouda will likely raise Sudanese President Bashir's continued travel to States Parties and non-States parties. June 12- MINUSCA (UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic) Briefing and Consultations: SRSGParfait Onanga-Anyanga will brief on increasing violence, which resulted in the death of six peacekeepers in May.

June 13 - Mine Action and Explosive Hazard Threat Mitigation Briefing: This meeting will be Bolivia's second signature event for the month, and is meant to focus on a "comprehensive approach to handling landmines, IEDsand explosive remnants of war ." USGfor Peacekeeping Operations Lacroix will brief. Bolivia worked closely with the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) on a draft resolution to "make UNMAS more relevant," ! B5 June 13 - UN-AU Cooperation Briefing: Ethiopia and Senegal have requested a briefing to discuss the reports requested in Resolution 2320, adopted unanimously in November 2016, on cooperation between the UN and African Union. The United States and Senegal drafted this resolution, which welcomed the AU's efforts to increase its own self-financing of operations, and expressed willingness to consider future proposals of the AU for a new partnership with the UNSCto support AU-led peace support operations. The SecretaryGeneral submitted a report to the Council in late May, which offers examples of financial arrangements through which the UN has previously supported the work of regional organizations. Ethiopia and Senegal are eager for the Council to continue to incrementally move forward on a proposed new financing partnership with the AU, but Egypt, as one of the AU's largest contributors, has strongly resisted due to concerns that such an arrangement would increase its financial burden to the AU. June 14-UNAMID (African Union/UN hybrid operation in Darfur) Briefing and Consultations: USGfor Peacekeeping Operations Lacroix (TBC)will brief on the Secretary-General's recommendations to downsize the mission. The report calls for a 44-percent cut to the authorized troop ceiling and a 30-percent cut to police over a 12month oeriod olus a staffing review to seek further cuts to civilian staff.I STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000397 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

June 16- MINUSMA (UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali) Briefing and Consultations: SRSGMahamat Saleh Annadif will brief on the current political and security situation in Mali in advance of the mandate renewal. Since the last briefing, the mission has been attacked across its sectors of operation and suffered casualties. The government has made some strides in implementing the peace agreement, including conducting a conference of national understanding in March. Still, implementation is way behind and the peace agreement's interim period concludes in June with a murky future ahead of it. The MINUSMA mandate renewal is scheduled for adoption on June 29. June 19- Peacebuilding and Sustainable Peace Briefing: At this annual meeting, the South Korean and Kenyan Permanent Representatives, as current and former chairs of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), respectively, will brief on the PBC's activities.

June 19- UNDOF (UN Disengagement Observer Force - Golan Heights) Consultations: USGfor Peacekeeping Operations Lacroix will brief the Council. The UNDOF mandate renewal is scheduled for adoption on June 27. The mandate will be a technical rollover, and it should not be a controversial exercise.

We have been pushing back on this plan (with the support of the UK) and will continue to do so, including by possibly requesting another briefer to balance the lineup. June 21-UNAMA (UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan) Debate: SRSGTadamichi Yamamoto will brief at this quarterly debate on Afghanistan. Interventions are likely to focus on expressions of support for the Afghan government and to emphasize continuity in UNAMA and the international community's support for Afghanistan.

This meeting will come one day after the end of Ramadan and in the wake of the latest round of Geneva talks on the political process. We expect de Mistura to assessthe technical mechanism for constitutional and legal discussion and whether the latest de-escalation plan has produced any tangible results on the ground. June 27- UNMIL (UN Mission in Liberia) Briefing and Consultations: UNMIL SRSGFarid Zarif will brief the council on progress in UNMl L's drawdown in advance of the mission's mandated March 2018 closure. UNMIL's terminal resolution significantly reduced the mission's force and civilian footprint while maintaining an ongoing presence through autumn 2017 elections and January 2018 transfer of power.

No product is planned . Bolivia has been rather feckless as Chair of the 1540 Committee and POL has urged them to hold a formal committee meeting- something they have not done yet this year - in the lead up to this open debate to help frame a more specific theme. June 29- Syria Humanitarian Briefing and Consultation s: USGfor Humanitarian Affairs Stephen O'Brien will brief the Council on the UN's and it s humanitarian partner s' efforts to deliver assistance to besieged and hard-to-reach areas. Humanitarian access so far in 2017 has been abysmal; the UN has been unable to reach any communitie s besieged by the regime . O'Brien will also express concern about socalled "reconciliation" agreements reached between the regime and opposition, which essentially amount to involuntary displacement of civilians and forced demographic changes. June 29- Haiti Trip Briefing: Haiti mission leader Bolivia will brief on the trip . June 29- Non-Proliferation Briefing : USGfor Political Affairs Feltman will brief on the SG's bi-annual report on the implementation of resolution 2231 (2015), which retained UN measures on Iran after the finalization of the JCPOA.The report will address implementation of the provisions in "annex B" of resolution 2231, including nuclear , ballistic missile, arms, asset freeze and travel ban provisions . The 2231 report will be circulated among Council members during the week of June 12-16 and discussed at the expert level the following week.

Zbigniew Czech, Director of the Department of United Nations and Human Rights Ms. Karolina Krywulak, expert at the Department of United Nations and Human Rights (note-taker) Ambassador Haley Mr. George Ward Mr. Chris Klein Purpose: To discuss Poland's bid for a seat on the Security Council, and seek Poland's support for U.S. priorities Background : Poland is pursuing an uncontested bid for the Eastern European seat for non-permanent members in the Security Council. Foreign Minister Waszczykowski (pronounced "Vaash-chi-KOFF-skee") is in New York to solicit support ahead of the GA election on June 2 at 10:00, immediately following your meeting with him . The Poland mission has indicated Poland's priorities in the SC likely will include supporting the SG's conflict prevention focu s, Security Council tran sparency, and refugee concerns. I Poland enthusiastically supports a strong U.S. military presence in Europe and earlier this year welcomed a U.S. battalion to northeast Poland as part of NATO's enhanced Forward Presence deployment, which reassured Poland of our shared resolve against the Russia threat. Although Poland usually aligns with its EU partners in the UN, it is sometimes at odds with the EU on internal European affairs, including recent spats over rule of law matters and immigration. Largely homogenous with a historic distrust of outsider s, Poland has rebuffed calls from Brussels to host refugees -taking on zero to date despite an expectation of burden sharing among EU states. Waszczykowski, however, earlier this week signaled Poland might temporarily take on Syrians who need medical treatment. STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000420 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

We are asking EU members to join us in imposing additional rounds of unilateral sanctions designations, including a new tranche under discussion for early June. The EU requirement for consensus on such designations has made this difficult, with Eastern Europe, Poland, and Sweden sometimes reluctant. 3. Syria Chemical Weapons: I B5 Background: Poland shares our views on Syria's use of chemical weapons and Russia's obstructive role. In the General Assembly, Poland was at times hesitant to take a firm stance against Iran, Syria and Russia on chemical weapons use in Syria, claiming they did not want to jeopardize their chances of joining the Council. Now, we need them to be as reliable as Ukraine is on the chemical weapons file. 4.

POL will liaise with the Cote d'Ivoire mission in the GA Hall to coordinate timing and will accompany you to the PS room for the brief 15-minute meeting. After 13 years, the UN Peacekeeping Operation in Cote d'Ivoire (UNOCI) will complete its final liquidation this month, with a final Council briefing scheduled later on Friday. UNOCI is the second peacekeeping mission in West Africa to shutter in the last 12 years. Recent turbulence in the country is a concern after a series of mutinies in the armed forces over unpaid bonuses led to armed protests and some deaths, first in January and again in May. When the government agreed to pay mutinous soldiers in January/February, the unrest and strikes spread more widely, to other members of armed and security forces. There have been several fatalities and dozens of injuries in the most recent spate of violence. Much of the problem stems from unrealized security sector reform, as rebels who supported President Ouattara during the power struggle in 2011 were not properly compensated, integrated into the army, or demobilized. Cote d'Ivoire has experienced the impact of regional terror networks, most recently when three gunmen opened fire at an lvorian beach resort in Grand-Bassam in March 2016 killing 19 people and injuring 33 others (Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb claimed responsibility).

(SBU) During a May 30 to June 1 visit to South Sudan, a Congressional delegation led by Representatives Chris Smith and Karen Bass pressed President Salva Kiir Mayard it to implement a ceasefire and end the conflict. Representatives Smith and Bass emphasized that the government of South Sudan must demonstrate a commitment to peace and act on U.S. priorities in order to justify U.S. foreign assistance. They expressed concern about harassment of humanitarians, including arbitrary fees; restrictions on international journalists; and failure to hold the security forces to account for the Terrain Hotel attack. President Salva made no promises of changed behavior, merely arguing that the United States must continue to support its "child." Representatives Smith and Bass also met newlyappointed SPLAChief of Defense Forces General James Ajongo Mawut, who shared an aspirational list of positive reforms. The CODEL met with church leaders and humanitarians; each group described a deteriorating political environment. They also met with UN MISS leadership, who expressed cautious optimism about the impact of the new leadership of the SPLAunder Ajongo. The CODELalso travelled to Bentiu to meet with internally-displaced South Sudanese (septel). End Summary. 2. (SBU)I B5 ~-----------~ IEnd Comment. STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000446 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

(SBU)On June 1, Representatives Chris Smith and Karen Bass (Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Sub-Committee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organization, respectively) and the Ambassador met with President Salva Kiir Mayard it, First Vice President Taban Deng Gai, Cabinet Minister Martin Elia Lomuro, Petroleum Minister Ezekiel Loi Gatkuoth, Justice Minister Paulino Wanawilla Unango, and Deputy Justice Minister Martinson Mathew Oturomoi. 4. (SBU) Representative Smith opened the discussion by reporting that prior to the meeting the delegation had visited Uganda (reftel A), where they spoke with South Sudanese at the Bidi Bidi refugee settlement, and the UN Protection of Civilian camp in Bentiu, where approximately 120,000 IDPs are seeking refuge (septel). He said all were unanimous in their cry for the conflict to end. Calling upon President Salva to "end this thing," Smith warned that funding is limited and cannot be guaranteed for countries who do not act as cooperative partners. Recalling that the SPLArallying cry during the struggle with Khartoum was "2 million dead, 4 million displaced," he expressed regret that under SPLAleadership 3.8 million are displaced now. Representative Bass asked the government to rescind its proposal to levy new fees on humanitarian NGOs (reftel B), explaining that such harassment of U.S. implementing partners made it difficult to argue for assistance for South Sudan at a time when foreign assistance budgets are being cut. Salva responded that "the U.S. has supported us, so you cannot dismantle that[ ...] we are America's child." Cabinet Affairs Minister Lomuro presented a slew of unverifiable statistics purporting to demonstrate that humanitarians are given full access and support by the government in the form of tax exemptions, and blamed new NGO fees on the Transitional National Legislative Assembly. These fees are comparable to the region, Lomuro asserted (incorrectly), but he also claimed that the government directed the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC) to reconsider the registration fee for NGOs in deference to donor concerns. (The RRCcontinues to threaten NGOs and demand payment.) First Vice President Taban inaccurately alleged that NGOs spend "85 percent on administrative costs: offices, travel, luxuries." Salva agreed, suggesting that audits of these organizations would reveal that NGO funding does not reach people on the ground. Representative Bass responded, "That is not our understanding." On Terrain: What FBI Invitation? 5. (SBU)Representative Smith recalled that during his last visit to Juba, he had been promised that the FBI would be invited to provide STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000447 UNCLASS IFIED U.S . Department of State Case No. F-2017-16725 Doc No. C06613437 Date: 03/07/2019 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2017-16725 Doc No. C06613437 Date: 03/07/2019 assistance to the investigation into the attack on aid workers at the Terrain Hotel compound on July 11, 2016 (reftel C). A senior government delegation that visited Washington and New York in September 2016 also committed to welcoming an FBI role. Nine months later, the government has still not extended an invitation for FBI assistance. Despite this inaction, the FBI is ready to assist and could have an agent on the ground to conduct an initial visit as early as June 3, Smith advised the President. Justice Minister Paulino said that the matter of FBI assistance "depends on what assistance is being offered." Technical assistance with regard to forensic evidence would be useful as SPLAMilitary Justice does not have these capabilities, he said. The Deputy Minister of Justice interjected that the United States and South Sudan would have to work out a Memorandum of Understanding, or perhaps even a mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT), in order for the FBI to participate, and suggested that the Embassy write a letter detailing exactly what assistance the FBI would provide. When informed that the FBI had deposed the U.S.victims, he said such testimony could not be used in a South Sudanese court. [Note I 5. End Note.] B5 6. (SBU) Deputy Justice Minister Oturomoi said that the government's initial investigation, which he led, has been transparent and objective. He explained that the prosecution had been handed over to the SPLA. Acknowledging that there were doubts about the government's commitment to accountability, Oturomoi reported that the SPLAheld the first hearing of its court martial on May 30, which was open to the public and media (Reftel D). [Note: That initial hearing, scheduled to take place before CODELSmith's arrival, was adjourned after an hour due to the prosecution's lack of preparation. Embassy contacts subsequently reported that the Chief Prosecutor had been fired and replaced on June 4. End Note.] Representative Smith asked how many soldiers had been arrested; Oturomoi said that 23 suspects had been detained, and 13 had been at the court martial hearing. [Note: Only 12 were present at the hearing on May 30. End Note.] Paulino said that suspects were being tried by a SPLAcourt martial rather than a civilian/military hybrid court (despite the fact the South Sudanese law calls for soldiers who commit crimes against civilians to be tried by a civilian court) because the soldiers were in uniform when they committed the crimes. On the Conflict, Dialogue, Political Prisoners, and the Churches: 7. (SBU)Representative Smith strongly encouraged President Salva to meet with the South Sudan Council of Churches. The President has declined repeated requests for meetings with the group, which asked STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000448 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

Salva explained that he had stopped regularly attending church because he is offended that religious leaders are practicing "tribalism" during mass. He contended that he is "much more truthful" than church leaders. (Comment: B5 ~----~ End Comment.) Representative Smith also urged the President to fulfill his commitments to release political prisoners such as Dong Saluel Luak, Aggrey ldri, and James Gatdet Oak. Taban responded "you should ask Kenya" about Dong and Aggrey, claiming South Sudan had not role in their disappearance, and inaccurately asserted that the ICRChas been allowed access to see Gatdet. President Salva added that the ICRCshould be permitted to visit Gatdet . The Justice Minister added that Gatdet was being charged formally and would face a criminal trial soon (he has been held without charge since November 2016). 8. (SBU)Salva stressed that he had announced a unilateral ceasefire during the opening of the National Dialogue, but suggested the opposition can "break it at any time." The President described the controversial dismissal of former SPLAleader General Paul Malong Awan as "a normal change" based on a typical rotational schedule, but admitted that "General Paul did not receive it well." He said "Thank god there was no bloodshed," and asserted the government is in firm control of Malong and the new chief, General Ajongo, is in full control of the SPLA. On Media: Don't Expect Critical Voices to Get Visas 9. (SBU) Representative Smith expressed regret that journalists from the Wall Street Journal and other major publications had been denied visas to South Sudan and urged reconsideration of these refusals. Representative Bassadded that all politicians are criticized by the media but the press plays an important role. President Salva asserted the government's sovereign right to approve or deny visas. The President said that the government had granted access to western journalists "in good faith," but "biased" reporters had reported negatively on positive developments in order to secure "fund raising." The First Vice President admitted that visa denials were based on past critical coverage . ...And What About the Good Things in South Sudan? 10. (SBU) Taban criticized Ambassador Phee for organizing a visit of the CODELto the UNMISS POCcamp in Bentiu, lamenting their trip was "focusing on the negative, not the positive." He said the trip should have included a visit to the site where the Ministry of Interior STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000449 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

He also highlighted his recent involvement in brokering a cessation of hostilities in legacy Jonglei state between the Bar Dinka and the Murie. Representative Bass informed him that she and Representative Smith had specifically directed the embassy to arrange the trip to Bentiu as the two intended to hold a hearing shortly to review the issues of famine and food insecurity. The First Vice President attempted to argue that South Sudanese who have fled to Uganda are not fleeing violence but have been driven out from fear generated by hate speech and opposition propaganda. Ezekiel added that "positive things are happening" in South Sudan but not being reported, and claimed "there is no fighting, just scrimmages" across the country. New Army Chief Ajongo SaysAll the Right Things 11. (SBU) Also on June 1, the CODELmet the newly appointed SPLA Chief of Defense Forces (CDF),General James Ajongo Mawut. Also in attendance were the Assistant CDFfor Logistics LTGGabriel Jok; Assistant CDFfor Administration LTG Mangar Buong; Director for Transformation MG Rabbi Emmanuel; and the Chief of the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM) MG Majier Kur. Ajongo highlighted recent moves to restructure the SPLA following his promotion and stated his intent to move most SPLAunits out of Juba and other towns (consistent with the peace agreement). He agreed that the agreement's call to canton forces was outdated and expensive, and recommended as an alternative setting up assembly areas for opposition groups that renounce violence to be assimilated into the SPLA,and then further reduced as appropriate in a future Disarmament Demobilization Reintegration (DOR) process. 12. (SBU) Ajongo frankly offered his view that the government cannot be satisfied with the current situation where conflict and violence have displaced millions and so many South Sudanese have sought refuge in other countries. He acknowledged the gap between the SPLAand communities, and said he seeks to rebuild trust between the two. He said the SPLAis reaching out to opposition counterparts . Ajongo said he has instructed the SPLAto support such engagement in the field and to guarantee the safety of opposition officials, although he said both would be challenging. 13. (SBU) Representative Smith asked Ajongo if the SPLAin the field is following his orders. Ajongo replied that he would go to the field himself to explain his policies, and to also make clear that there is a standing order to allow access for humanitarian workers. Acknowledging that humanitarian organizations play a critical role in supporting the people of South Sudan, Ajongo said that humanitarians and UNMISS should improve communication with the SPLA, specifically notifying the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mission), of SPLAobstructions and violations. (Comment: B5 STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000450 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

Ajongo claimed these violations are reported through international channels and the SPLAleadership in Juba does not find out about it until made public. 14. (SBU) The SPLAchief emphasized that the peace agreement, the National Dialogue, President SaIva's announcement of a unilateral ceasefire, and opening of channels to the opposition as examples of the government's efforts to pursue peace. He expressed appreciation for AU and IGAD support of these efforts, and opined that the international community should do the same. Ajongo also commented on Juba's bilateral relationship with Khartoum, highlighting unresolved issues such as each side's respective support for rebel groups and the lack of an agreement as to whether rebel groups should be disarmed before they are expelled. 15. (SBU) Congressman Smith expressed his concern over reports of SPLAmisconduct, particularly with respect to sexual violence, urging a policy of zero tolerance. Ajongo demurred at first as he claimed this subject is not one that is discussed in his culture. He then collected himself and reiterated that this is one of the areas that must be addressed to narrow the gap between the SPLAand civilian population. The Ambassador asked about a recent visit by a delegation from the UN Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General on Sexual Violence in Conflict; Ajongo responded positively that he wanted to see the draft of the UN's Action Plan so the SPLAcan make adjustments to current policy as appropriate. 16. (SBU) Ajongo raised the decision by AFRICOM not to invite the SPLAto a recent CHOOConference and admitted that the reason was obvious: "the way we operate." He expressed his desire to "close the gap" so the SPLAcan become a partner for the region and the United States, citing counterterrorism concerns such as Al Shabaab. Humanitarian Partners: "Year-on-Year Degradation" 17. (SBU) In a May 30 meeting with representatives from World Food Program (WFP), Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), International Organization For Migration (IOM), Catholic Relief Services (CRS),Samaritan's Purse, and Mercy Corps, humanitarians told the CODELthat the government must take action to match its repeated assurances about aid worker safety and access. Humanitarians flagged that northern Jonglei state may soon reach famine conditions, and said the outbreak of cholera is another concern. Humanitarians agreed that there has been a "year-on-year degradation of everything" with respect to food security, the economy, and political dialogue. STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000451 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

(SBU) In a June 1 meeting with South Sudan Council of Churches (SSCC)General Secretary Father James Oyet Latansio and other SSCC members, Representative Smith underscored the importance of faithbased groups in promoting peace and reconciliation. Father James reported that the SSCChas repeatedly requested to meet with President Salva since being appointed to the National Dialogue Secretariat in December 2016, but said that the President has refused to meet: "the door has been locked to us." One SSCCmember expressed skepticism about the credibility of the government's prosecution of the Terrain Hotel compound attackers, opining that "accountability scares Salva and the other leaders." Another member suggested that, while there was support for the general idea of hosting a National Dialogue, the government had not taken the steps (release of prisoners, credible security guarantees) to enable it to succeed but instead had "copied and pasted" Sudan's National Dialogue initiative. Father James shared SSCCplans to travel to meet with regional stakeholders (Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia and the African Union) in June and July. UN MISS: Optimistic about Improved Relations under Ajongo 19. (SBU) In a June 1 meeting with UN MISS Acting SRSGMoustapha Soumare, Representative Smith asked if the RPFwould arrive in full by the end of July. Soumare responded that "a big chunk" (namely the Rwandans and Ethiopians) will be deployed by that time, but reported that Kenya's battalion minus is still a question mark due to political sensitivities over how the UN handled the dismissal of the previous Kenyan Force Commander. Deputy Force Commander MG Chaoying Yang offered his opinion on the new SPLAchief, opining that Ajongo is "milder" than Malong and will not mobilize tribal fighters as Ma long did. Ajongo has promised UN MISS that he will do his "utmost" to ensure freedom of movement and reduce bureaucratic impediments, Yang said. Representative Smith urged Soumare to increase UNMISS attention to the needs of women and children. 20. (SBU) Representative Smith cleared this cable. POC: Bridget Brennan Rep.

Talking Points: 1) Congressional Hearing j B5 2) U.S. funding for the UNI Biography: Serving Kentucky's 5th Congressional District since 1981, Hal Rogers is currently in his 19th term representing the people of southern and eastern Kentucky, and is the longest serving Kentucky Republican ever elected to federal office. Focused on economic development, job creation, fighting illegal drug use and preserving the natural treasures of Appalachia, Rogers has a reputation for listening to his constituents and fighting for the interests of the region where he was raised. Born in rural Kentucky and representing one of the poorest Congressional Districts in the nation, Rogers' vision for a stronger region spurred some of the greatest success stories in southern and eastern Kentucky. Organizations such as PRIDE, Operation UNITE , Southeast Kentucky Economic Development (SKED) , The Center for Rural Development and Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) have brought local communities together by revitalizing the environment, providing hope in the fight against drugs, building small businesses, and creating jobs by increasing tourism in one of the most beautiful regions of the country. Nationally, as Chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee from 2011 to 2016, he reduced the size and scope of the government by reining in federal spending, conducting rigorous but thoughtful oversight of federal agencies, and restoring fiscal discipline STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000536 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

Rogers led the Congress to reduce discretionary spending by a historic amount, cutting $126 billion in discretionary spending since 2010. Rogers also restored regular order and a culture on the Committee for serious budget oversight and transparency in process, including 2122 amendments considered to appropriations bills on the floor and 650 oversight hearings conducted during his tenure as Chairman. With more than 30-years of experience on the Appropriations Committee, he has served on eight different subcommittees, including leadership roles as Chairman or Ranking Member of three . Rogers was tapped in 2003 to lead the newly established Subcommittee on Homeland Security. Through this important role, Rogers fought to ensure our first responders received the funds necessary to protect against terrorist threats; demanded tough answers from FEMA in the wake of federal responses to wildfires, hurricanes and flash floods; and insisted on enforcement of our country's immigration laws and stronger border security. Whether Rogers is on Capitol Hill ensuring the appropriate use of taxpayer dollars, fighting to secure the homeland, scrutinizing federal government agencies, or home in southern and eastern Kentucky working to make a difference in the lives of the individuals he represents, Rogers remains committed to being a strong voice in Congress for fiscal responsibility, economic development, a strong national defense, and a prosperous future for America.

Despite the efforts of the Astana guarantors (Russia, Iran, and Turkey) to negotiate deescalation zones across the country, violence is rising and humanitarian access remains blocked. We recommend that you speak in closed consultations . Bolivia and Uruguay probably will speak in the open. Humanitarian Update: Some 13.5 million people in Syria (80 percent of the current population) require humanitarian assistance, including more than 600,000 people living under siege. More than 85 percent of those under siege are besieged by their own government. Despite Russia's touting of the Astana de-escalation plan, it has not improved the humanitarian situation at all. On June 20, a UN interagency convoy delivered food and other assistance to 11,000 Syrians in regime-besieged East Harasta, part of the Damascus suburbs. This is less than a quarter of the population estimated to live there . The convoy arrived two days after unidentified gunmen fired on the convoy's first attempt to deliver assistance. This is only the second delivery in 2017 to areas besieged by the Syrian regime. In the June 23 Humanitarian Access Task Force meeting , the UN special advisor said STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000550 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

Political Update: Both the Geneva and the Astana processes are continuing, but neither track is close to a breakthrough. The next Astana round will take place on July 4-5, but this meeting could be delayed . Previou s meetin gs scheduled for June were indefinitely postponed because Turkey, Russia, and Iran have been unable to reach agreement on delineating the boundaries of the de-escalation zones and arrangements for ceasefire monitoring . Meanwhile, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura announced he will reconvene the Geneva talks on July 10, and we expect he will attempt to build upon the last round in which the parties agreed to form a working group for constitutional issues. De Mistura aims to develop a common opposition position on constitutional issues before July 10. Military Update: In eastern Syria, the battle lines are growing more complex. The U.S. Military has fired on pro-A ssad forces three times (May 18, June 6, and June 8) for encroaching on a de-confliction zone in southeastern Syria agreed to with the Russians. In the same time period, our military grounded two Iranian drones in the same area and a Syrian military jet in the north which threatened the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)fighting ISIS. Elsewhere , violence is undermining the failing ceasefire in key areas. In southern Syria, the regime continues to pummel Dar'a city, clearly inside the southern deescalation zone envisioned by Astana . The regime and opposition have clashed in central Syria, and regime forces there have fired artillery rounds on cropland to prevent the harvest.

(If Time Permits) Humanitarian Action at the UN: Note that famines and other critical challenges require sustained political and financial leadership of the United States and our partners to address the global scale of human suffering and forced displacement. * Express appreciation for the close partnership over many years with Nordic countries in addressing humanitarian assistance, affirming we remain committed to address needs in real time, and to prevent many of the conflicts and crises driving need in the first place. * Note the need to bring new donors, alliances, and other Member States to the table to contribute to humanitarian causes and advance reforms of UN-led humanitarian efforts. Background: Nordic countries make up one of the most important bases of support for humanitarian action at the UN, and are among the most closely aligned with the United States in terms of priorities, including reform. Sweden, Norway, and Denmark were amongst the first four countries to commit 0.7% of their national income to overseas aid, and have since far exceeded that target. Sweden, Norway, and other members of the group also provide an important facilitation role for several important General Assembly resolutions each year. Close cooperation with members of this group will be vital to achieving our strategic objectives. 4. (If Raised)_UN Sustainable Development Goals: Note the United States views the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as an important global agenda for achieving a more prosperous, peaceful, just, and healthy world, however the United States is still reviewing the overall framework. * In addition to Member State action, we think the Sustainable Development Goals provide tremendous opportunity for private sector, civil society, and other stakeholders to bring forward and leverage innovative solutions and approaches to help implement the Goals and drive real-time impacts on the ground. * The U.S. private sector has embraced the SDGs,and many companies have incorporated the Goals into their core growth strategies, value chain operations, and policies to seize the business opportunities opened up by the Agenda and, in turn, drive new efficiencies and innovations in the marketplace.

The EU remains the world's leading provider of Official Development Assistance and is committed to and engaged in promoting the UN SDGs.Given the diverse views of UN Member States and numerous other constituencies, the deliberations and negotiations on the 2030 Agenda were complex. Along with other countries, the United States was not in full agreement with certain aspects of the final text. The U.S. views the Agenda as a useful tool to promote UN reform and recognizes the value of the 17 broad SDGsas a universal framework, while preserving flexibility in our policies and approach to the individual SDGsand their targets.

Background: This meeting comes three weeks after Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt unexpectedly cut diplomatic, economic, and military ties with Qatar over what they described as Qatari support for extremism and its meddling in the internal affairs of other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)countries. Last Friday, Saudi Arabia provided Kuwaiti mediators with a list of 13 demands that were subsequently shared with Qatar, indicating Qatar had ten days to comply. Many of the demands are hardline and almost impossible for Qatar to implement in full. Saudi FM Adel AI-Jubeir has said that Qatar's isolation will continue indefinitely if Qatar does not comply. Secretary Tillerson met with both the Qatari FM and the Acting Minister of Information on June 27, during which he reiterated his strong support for the Kuwaiti led mediation process, the need for a II parties to work toward productive diplomatic relations, and the importance of confronting extremism. Senator Bob Corker recently put a hold on arms sales to GCCcountries to force reconciliation between Qatar and its neighbors. Talking Points: B5 STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000562 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

Peacekeeping Budgets:! Note: Rwanda is a top troop contributing country with uniformed personnel in MINUSCA, MINUSTAH, UNAMID, UNISFA, and UN MISS. Rwanda does not have an active SC delegate at the moment, so they likely have not had much visibility on the budget discussions. We understand privately that they were most concerned about UNAMID and MINUSCA, where they contribute 2,506 and 1,284 uniformed personnel respectively. We agreed on a six month commitment authority of $972m for UNAMID and a $883m annual budget for Ml NU SCA ($39m below the SG's request). 2.

The 40 signatories (including the U.S.) commit to a range of actions including direct military action to protect civilians against armed actors, and to hold troops accountable for failure to protect civilians or failures in conduct. In November 2016, Rwanda, the Netherlands, and the U.S.jointly hosted an event for the signatories to discuss the Principles. Rwanda may ask you to co-host the next event.

Note: The entire Regional Protection Force is not projected to be fully deployed until November, 2017--over a year from when they were mandated. We expect the November date will slip as there are disagreements with the government of South Sudan on which land the force will occupy, the site build-up, the flow of material into Juba, and moving UNMISS forces out of Juba to new or existing bases as a result of the arrival of the RPF.I STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000565 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

IF NEEDED:August 4 Presidential Election : I Note: President Paul Kagame's January 2016 announcement that he will seek a third term when presidential elections are held on August 4 followed a December 2015 rushed referendum process that failed to provide sufficient time and opportunity for political debate. Kagame's decision was an historic missed opportunity. We and others expressed our disappointment about the constitutional amendment s to extend the terms of incumbents, and our broader concerns about the state of democracy and fundamental freedoms in Rwanda. The referendum yielded Constitutional amendment s that included an exception for the current president that al lows President Kagame to serve a not her seven-year term in 2017, potentially followed by two additional fiveyear terms .

They have only one signature event- the July 19 open debate (non-ministerial) on peace and security in Africa, to promote UN-African Union cooperation - but otherwise are trying to limit non-essential meetings. After June's raft of UNSCRs,only three are expected for July: the mandate for the political mission for Colombia - focusing on security guarantees and reintegration for the FARCrebels - and the renewals for UNFICYP (Cyprus) and UNAMI (lraq). I I f Weal have provided "if raised" points on the cholera issue in Haiti, the situation in Burundi, and the Cyprus settlement negotiations. 1. Yemeni B5 Note: UN Special Envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed will deliver his regular 60-day briefing to the Security Council on July 12. On June 15, the Security Council adopted a PRSTwith strong demands on the parties to facilitate access for humanitarian aid and medical evacuation flights. However, there is no progress to report on bringing the parties together for further negotiations. 2. Middle East Meeting: Reinforce our view that the open debate on the Middle East should be a forum to discuss the most pressing issues of the region and should not be focused exclusively on the PalestinianIsraeli issue. * Underscore that, to the degree Security Council members wish to address the Israeli-Palestinian issue, they should try to remain forward-looking and balanced. Turning the open debate into another Israel bashing session will only compel us to highlight the Israeli perspective and restate our strong position on the issue. Note: At the June Briefing, which Bolivia insisted on keeping in the open chamber, the Egyptians were offended by remarks given by former NSCofficial Michael Doran, which they viewed as unnecessarily harsh on Egypt. Doran gave his view on the 1967 war and put much of the blame on then Egyptian President GamaI Abdel Nasser, whom many Egyptians (especially from PRAboulatta's generation) hold in high esteem. I IF RAISED: 3. Haiti Cholera! STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000569 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

Whereas some countries, like Bolivia, have focused on cholera, more members are taking notice following the trip. We expect that cholera may come up more and more in the Council. The next Haiti debate is July 19. 4. Burundij B5 * Note that you are still considering options for how the Security Council might address the problems in Burundi. Note: UNSCR2303 (2016), which authorizes a 228-person police force in Burundi to monitor the security situation, has not been implemented due to objections by the government of Burundi. France is still considering whether it will seek to renew the mandate. We are pressing the U.S. government interagency to arrive at a view as well. S. Cyprus! * [PLACEHOLDER]Note the United States reserves judgement on the UNFICYPmandate renewal pending the outcome of the current settlement negotiations . I Note: The Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders renewed negotiations in Geneva on June 28; this followed SGGuterres's intervention in early June, when he brought leaders from both sides to New York to bridge an impasse in talks. UNSCconsultations on UNFICYPare set for July 19 and the UNFICYPmandate renewal is scheduled for adoption on July 24 (it expires July 31). The United States likely would support a technical rollover of the mandate, but we reserve judgement pending the outcome of current round of negotiations. We will update you ahead of this breakfast if the Geneva negotiations have produced any results. TAB 1: COUNCILMEETINGS July 5 (TBC)- Sanctions Arria: Egypt will host this Arria-formula meeting to focus the Council's attention on how to improve the design of UN sanctions regimes. This meeting will include a variety of stakeholders, including the PRsof some countries that have been subject to sanctions such DRC, Liberia and Sierra Leone, as well as the UN Secretariat, which will be represented by Kelvin Ong, Chief of the Security Council Affairs Division. The Egyptians intend for this meeting STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000570 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

July 6 - Syria CW Consultations: High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Izumi Nakamitsu will brief the Council in closed consultations on the OPCW Director-General's monthly report regarding Syria's obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention. She will probably also update the Council on the OPCW Fact Finding Mission report on the April 4 attack in Khan Sheikhoun, which the OPCW published on June 29. Head of the Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM) Edmond Mulet will brief the Council on the JIM's latest report issued June 27. July 11- MONUSCO (UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo) Briefing and Consultations: USG for Peacekeeping Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix will brief on the increasing instability throughout the DRCand the upcoming strategic review that was mandated by the Security Council during the April mandate renewal. We expect that Sidikou will update the Council on the decision that has been made to cut troops in line with the new mandate. July 12 - Yemen Briefing and Consultations: Special Envoy Ismail Quid Cheikh Ahmed (IOCA) will deliver his regular 60-day briefing to the Security Council on Yemen. Having failed to persuade the parties to negotiate on a plan to hand Hudaydah port over to a neutral authority, IOCA will probably have very little progress to report. Council members will likely ask IOCA about implementation of the demands contained in the Council's June 15 PRST,which included unfettered humanitarian access, the re-opening of Sana'a airport to medical evacuation flights, and steps to increase the flow of aid and other essential supplies into the country. Council members will also likely focus on Yemen's humanitarian catastrophe, now that Yemen has the world's largest outbreak of cholera. Some Council members may discuss allegations that the United Arab Emirates tortured detainees in the parts of Yemen controlled by the Saudi-led Coalition. Additionally, Bolivia and Kazakhstan have asked, respectively, for briefers from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO). July 13 - UNOWAS (UN Office for West Africa) Briefing and Consultations: SRSGMohamed lbn Chambas will brief on the status of his preventative diplomacy efforts in West Africa and the Sahel. We expect Chambas to touch on his work in the Lake Chad Basin region, The Gambia and Guinea-Bissua. In the wake of recent Peacebuilding Commission and ECOSOCmeetings on The Sahel and the Security Council's adoption of Resolution 2359 on the GS Sahel Joint Force, Chambas will likely lobby for more UN investment and engagement in the tumultuous region. July 14 - Syria Political Consultations: Special Envoy Staffon de Mistura (via VTC) will deliver his monthly briefing and update the Council on the latest round of intra-Syrian talks in Geneva, which will take place starting July 10. He will attempt to build upon the last round, in which the parties agreed to form a working group for constitutional issues. De Mistura aims to develop a common opposition position on constitutional issues before the talks begin in the hopes of forcing the STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000571 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

July 17 - UNAMI (UN Assistance Mission for Iraq) Briefing and Consultations: SRSGJan Kubis will brief the Council on the status of the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Iraq, likely focusing on the ongoing counter-lSIS efforts in and around Mosul, but also efforts to facilitate lasting political reconciliation between Iraq's sects and factions. The UNAMI mandate renewal is scheduled for adoption on July 20, though we are trying to move it to the beginning of the month to enable a third party audit of the SPM's staffing and resources, to inform the SC budgeting process. July 17 - Monthly Council Lunch with the SG: The Secretary-General's staff will inform the Council about the issues he would like to raise a few days before the lunch. July 18- Peace and Security in Africa Open Debate: China wants to use this debate - their only signature event for the month - to keep up momentum in UN-African Union cooperation . It will not be at the ministerial level, but they are considering whether to pursue a product. The SG and an AU representative (TBC) will brief. China wants the Council to focus on strengthening AU and subregional organizations' capabilities in coordination with the UN, funding for AU and subregional organizations' peace operations in Africa, the importance of women and youth, and how to increase efficiency in UN peacekeeping operations in Africa. July 19 - MINUSTAH (UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti) Debate: SRSG Sandra Honore will brief on implementation of UNSCR2350, which extended the MINUSTAH mandate for a final six-month period before it transitions to the smaller UN Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH). July 19 - UNFICYP(UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus) Consultations: SRSGElizabeth Spehar and Special Envoy Espen Barth Eide will brief on developments in the Cyprus settlement negotiations convened June 28 in Geneva. The UNFICYPmandate renewal is scheduled for adoption on July 24. July 20 - UN MISS (UN Mission in South Sudan) Briefing and Consultations: We requested this meeting to discuss updates on South Sudan, and hope to receive a status report on UN assistance to the Hybrid Court. The Department of Peacekeeping Operations will brief the Council. July 20 - 1701 Report (Lebanon) Consultations: Special Coordinator Sigrid Kaag and ASG for Peacekeeping Operations El Ghassim Wane will brief on the latest political situation in Lebanon as well as the operations of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). Kaag will most likely focus her briefing on Lebanon's new electoral law, which will govern parliamentary elections scheduled for next year, as well as the impact of the war in Syria on Lebanon. Wane will likely deliver a business-as-usual briefing on UNIFIL, with an emphasis on the fact that UNIFIL's area of operations has remained relatively calm. This session will be an important opportunity for us to deliver a strong message on Hizballah, as well as the need for UNIFIL to be more proactive in looking for ways to implement its mandate (i.e. to enforce a zone free of weapons outside the control of the Lebanese state in STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000572 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

July 24 - Burundi Briefing and Consultations : France requested consultations to discuss the political and security situation in Burundi in advance of a possible renewal of resolution 2303, which authorized 228 police to deploy to Burundi. Since the July 2016 adoption of the mandate, the resolution has been completely unimplemented , making it necessary to discuss next steps. Special Envoy Michel Kafando will brief the Council. July 2S - Middle East Open Debate: Special Envoy Nickolay Mladenov will brief the Council in the open chamber . USUN has continued to push delegations to look beyond the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and instead focus on threats to regional stability such as Iran's action s, Hezbollah, and Hamas; at the June Political Coordinators ' lunch, however, the Chinese PC said China plans for "no more and no less" on Israeli-Palestinian issues at the meeting . July 27 - Syria Humanitarian Briefing and Consultations: USG for Humanitarian Affairs Stephen O'Brien will brief the Council on the UN's and it s humanitarian partner s' efforts to deliver assistance to besieged and hard-to-reach areas. Humanitarian access so far in 2017 has been abysmal; the UN has only delivered aid to two communitie s besieged by the regime. TBD - Somalia-Eritrea Briefing: The UK requested a briefing from the Somalia-Eritrea Monitoring Group to discuss the latest developments regarding the implementation of sanctions on both Somalia and Eritrea . The briefing will also serve to inform ongoing Council discussions on the UK's proposed Presidential Statement on Eritrea, which outline s sanction s benchmark s for Eritrea to fulfill in order for the Council to consider modifying the regime .

The resolution was contentious and ultimately had detractors on both sides - some, like Russia, claiming that the issue was in the Security Council's domain and others, like Qatar, who felt that the final product was not tough enough. You recently had a bilateral meeting with Turkish PR Feridun Sinirlioglu (June 19) and raised the issue ofNGOs in Turkey, yet we have not seen substantial progress on the issue to date. 3.

Talking Points: 1. New CT Office/Position: ! B5 Background: For many years the United States supported the creation of a new USG-level position to coordinate the UN's counterterrorism efforts. We believed that such a position can help de-conflict and give a strategic vision to the UN's bodies responsible for counterterrori sm. Secretary-General Guterres announced the creation of this position and the new UN Office of Counter-Terrorism in June, after the General Assembly formally endorsed his efforts to reform the UN's CT architecture . j STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000699 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

(SBU) Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE):I Background: A major focus of UN CT efforts is the implementation of SG Ban's 2015 Plan of Action on PVE,which highlighted the need for a "whole-of-UN" approach that encompasses both security-based and systematic softer preventive counterterrorism measures to address the drivers of violent extremism. Russia has been among the greatest skeptics of the PVEagenda, seeing it as a distraction from a more security-focused fight against terrorism. Most UN Member States, including our European allies and some Arab states like Jordan, believe that ISISand other terrorist groups cannot be defeated with security measures alone and that PVE-an approach that helps prevent and counter terrorist recruitment and reduce risk to communities posed by terrorist offenders as they return to societymust be an essential and complementary element of comprehensive counterte rrorism strategies. 3. (SBU) Engaging Civil Society: Reaffirm that civil society, including local youth and women's organizations, academia and media, play an essential role as trusted local intermediaries in preventing radicalization to violence.

The African Union 's legal and political offices, along with the UN Office of Legal Affair s, are scheduled to travel to South Sudan July 21 to discuss the Hybrid Court with the South Sudanese government (who to date has been very reluctant to discuss the court) . The U.S. has been very supportive of the formation of the court, including providing the African Union with funding to help with the initial phases of the court ' s establishment , and we continue to urge the African Union to move forward with its formation . The African Union's Special Envoy for South Sudan is now back in the picture (after several months of being inactive).

A: We are not happy about that. But it was not our choice, it was the choice of the US Congress which is making damage both to President Trump and to prospects of Russian-American relations . Q: We 've heard about the resolution on DPRK. Is Russiastill not happy with the draft resolution? A: The Security Council has not seen the draft resolution yet . When we see it then we'll be able to say what we think of it . Q: Today Russia has said they want US diplomats out to certain number, and is closing their compounds. Why? What was their reason to do this? A: It was a reaction which was delayed for a very considerable time, for half a year, in a hope that the current Administration will undo the damage Oba ma's Administration did. We have been robbed of our compounds here absolutely illegally and our diplomats were sent out. In diplomacy there is reciprocity. We showed restraint, and were patient long enough. We were warning our American counterparts that we would be obliged to do so if there is no progress on that issue. We see there is not any. Even worse with the latest draft bill by the Congress. Time has come. We had to do it . Q: Are you optimistic about working with your American counterpart Ambassador Haley and the Trump Administration? A: I will not be working with Trump Administration as such. But, of course, I will be working with Ambassador Haley and I am looking forward to meeting her soon . I presented my credentials this morning to the Secretary-General. Now I can officially meet my colleagues which I will do in a matter of a few days.

Attendees: Ambassador Haley Josh Black Emerita Torres Aaron Banks Meeting Context: As one of Egypt's signature events during its August Presidency, Egypt intends for this meeting, chaired by Ambassador Aboulatta, to call attention to illicit trafficking in weapons that can aid terrorists, encourage more coordination among UN bodies, and underscore the role that Security Council-mandated arms embargos play to help prevent illicit arms trading. The focus of the meeting is on illicit arms flows that benefit ISISand al-Qaeda. Egypt will likely also use the meeting to criticize Qatar and Turkey for supporting extremist groups and for not fully implementing CT-related UN Security Council resolutions. Egypt plans to adopt its resolution on preventing terrorists from acquiring weapons before the briefings and Council member interventions. We expect the briefings to be technical in nature and most Council members to focus on practical ways to ensure ISISand al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist s do not get their hands on arms or the means to build Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Background: Egypt called for this initiative in early July as one of its signature STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000799 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2017-16725 Doc No. C06613437 Date: 03/07/2019 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2017-16725 Doc No. C06613437 Date: 03/07/2019 events during its August Council presidency. Egypt put its resolution under silence on Monday, July 31, and we do not expect other Council members to break . During the negotiations on the Security Council resolution, Egypt proposed unacceptable language implicitly criticizing Turkey and Qatar. When we and other Council members opposed this language, Egypt back down and removed problematic provisions . While these negotiations were contentious at times, we successfully addressed all other problematic issues in the text. Note : Remarks in separate binder .

Lebanon: ! B5 Background: Germany contributes one vessel to UNIFIL's Maritime Taskforce (MTF), which is a navy with seven vessels that accounts for about 10 percent of UNIFIL's annual $500 million budget. As such, Germany is very protective about trying to keep the MTF alive, even though we argue that the MTF appears to have minimal impact with no defined end date. IF RAISED: 5. Russia Sanctions Legislationj B5 Background: On July 25, the House passed legislation imposing comprehensive sanctions against Russia, Iran and the DPRK.Updated language on coordinating with allies has lessened German concerns that the bill would lead quickly to sanctions on German companies.

While we do not think that it's necessary to change the UNIFIL mandate it self, we want UNIFILto make better use of the authorities it has to reduce the potential for a Hizballah-lsrael confrontation.

The Egyptian negotiator, noting the importa nee of this resolution for African Member States, has asked us to reconsider . We are currently evaluating whether we want to take that step or to see if we can join consensus. 2. Gulf Crisis: Underscore that all countr ies must do more to defeat B5 Background: Egypt is solidly in the anti-Qatar camp. Secretary Tillerson has continued outreach to try to resolve the crisis and recently signed a counterterrorism MOU with Qatar . Ultimately , this is a political spat to punish Qatar for its independent foreign policy and support for Isla mist political movements. 3.

NSCand State are assessing options to respond to the law and determining the legal repercussions for our assistance. As of March, Egypt had a pipeline of $574 million in U.S. assistance. We are also concerned that that the law could help advance radical narratives in the region. 4. UN Reform Agenda:! 5. (IF RAISED)Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA): B5 Note: Since Security Council resolution 2272 on SEAwas adopted in March 2016, Egypt has frequently taken the lead in opposing SEA reforms, especially those related to transparency or accountability for peacekeeping troops. However, after their successful push for an SEA resolution in the General Assembly in March 2017 (a response to what they consider Security Council over-reach on this issue), they have been more willing to cooperate in other SEA negotiations. Egypt was broadly supportive of our position in the recent Fifth Committee discussions on SEA, and were instrumental in helping us adopt a positive resolution. 6. (IF ASKEDONLY) UNESCO:! I Background: There are nine candidates for UNESCODirector-General position, including two from the PS: Azerbaijan, China, Egypt, France, Guatemala, Iraq, Lebanon, Qatar, and Vietnam. The UNESCO Executive Board interviewed the candidates in April and will vote by secret ballot in October to select one candidate. IQ and NEA Front Offices have previously met with Egypt's candidate. Because this election is held in Paris, 10 and Embassy Paris have taken the lead. USUN recommends that we meet with Egypt's candidate at the DPRor ECOSOCsection head level.

UNSCRson Libya allow for the designation of people responsible for human rights abuses in Libya, so the Netherlands, Italy, and Germany want to apply these provisions to the problem of human smuggling. This is part of a much broader effort by European countries to stem the flow of migrants through Libya. The intentions behind the proposal are worthy. No one disputes that conditions for people smuggled through Libya are atrocious-there are widespread reports of torture, rape, and starvation in the safe houses that migrant smugglers use in Libya. The problem is that for the U.S. government to support a sanctions designation, the Treasury Department must be able to enforce the proposed sanctions. That means we have a very high burden of proof when it comes to sanctioning individuals. So, the Netherlands, Italy, and Germany would need to develop and present to us specific evidence of who they want to sanction. Russia and Egypt would also likely be opposed to these sanctions on human traffickers, particularly if anyone close to Khalifa Haftar were implicated.

There have been at least six prison breaks over the last few weeks, resulting in thousands escaping from jails. While no one has found the perpetrators of these mass prison breaks, many suspect the DRCgovernment could be behind the releases as part of a strategy to sow chaos. 2. DRCElections: ! B5 Note: Voter registration has been completed in 13 provinces and started in 10 others, but the electoral commission has been unable to start registration in the provinces of Kasai and Kasai Central because of ongoing violence . Despite numerous requests both by the U.S. and the Security Council, the DRCgovernment has not set a date for elections. 3.

"I have introduced bipartisan legislation that imposes an economic embargo on North Korea and punishes the rouge regime's enablers. China is responsible for ninety percent of trade with North Korea and my legislation targets entities involved in these activities. I will continue to urge the Administration to fully implement a maximum pressure approach and take meaningful steps to stop the madman in Pyongyang." As Chairman of the Subcommittee on East Asia and the Pacific, Gardner has been the leader in the Senate in deterring North Korea's heinous regime. Gardner authored the North Korea Sanctions Policy and Enhancement Act signed into law by President Obama in February of 2016.

Ninety percent of North Korea's trade is conducted with China and Beijing must use its economic leverage to stop North Korea's illicit and dangerous behavior . Recent reports indicate that China's trade with North Korea has significantly increased instead. 7.13.17 Gardner Introduces Legislation to Impose Economic Embargo on North Korea and Its Enablers Washington, D.C. - Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO),Chairman of the Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific, and International Cybersecurity, introduced bipartisan legislation that would ban any entity that does business with North Korea or its enablers from using the United States financial system and to impose U.S. sanctions on all those participating in North Korean labor trafficking abuses. The legislation, titled the North Korean Enablers Accountability Act, is cosponsored by Senators Ed Markey (D-MA), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Marco Rubio (R-FL),and Rob Portman (R-OH). "With its latest successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile, North Korea has demonstrated intent and capability to hit the U.S. homeland - and as President Trump said, we must never allow this to happen," said Senator Gardner. "We must take every diplomatic and economic measure now to stop North Korea and to prevent nuclear war. My bipartisan legislation gives those that currently conduct trade with North Korea a clear choice - either do business with this heinous outlaw regime or do business with the world's leading economic and military power." "There is no military solution to the threat of a nuclear North Korea," said Senator Markey, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific, and International Cybersecurity. "We must utilize direct negotiations with Pyongyang alongside increased economic sanctions pressure from China to bring the Kim regime to the table and ultimately rid the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons. These negotiations could offer the prospect of engaging North Korea in line with international norms by ending horrific human rights abuses, including labor trafficking." "North Korea's Fourth of July intercontinental ballistic missile test constitutes a new level of threat to U.5. national security and regiona I peace and stability that requires a firm response," said Senator Menendez. "This provocative and destabilizing act has rightly been condemned by the United States and the international community and must serve only to further isolate North Korea. In that vein, the bill we are introducing today is a bipartisan effort that represents additional measures required to get our North Korea policy right. We seek to impose real consequences for those entities who, even after Kim Jong-un's defiance and continued flagrant violations of international law, continue to do business and support his vicious regime. In light of Pyongyang's continued determination to have a functional missile capable of reaching the United States topped with a nuclear warhead, I will continue to work with my colleagues in a STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000865 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

On July 4, North Korea tested an intercontinental ballistic missile that demonstrated the capability of reaching the U.S. homeland. Two weeks prior to that, North Korea tested a rocket engine capable of carrying an intercontinental ballistic missile. In 2016, North Korea conducted two nuclear tests and 24 ballistic missile launches. This year, North Korea fired 17 missiles during 11 tests. Senator Gardner has applauded recent steps taken by the Trump Administration to ramp up pressure on North Korea, including for the first time designating a Chinese financial institution doing business with North Korea. Ninety percent of North Korea's trade is conducted with China and Beijing must use its economic leverage to stop North Korea's illicit and dangerous behavior.

What this legislation does: * Requires the President to block all transactions that are property of the North Korean government, affiliates, or those that do significant business with North Korea. * Requires the President to block any entity or financial institution implicated in any significant trade in goods or services with North Korea from the U.S. financial system. Entities include the top 10 Chinese importers of goods from North Korea. * Requires the President to prohibit any goods made with North Korean labor from entering the United States and to impose sanctions of all entities implicated in North Korean labor trafficking.

U.S. Sanctions on Russia: I Background: The "Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act," signed on August 2 to enact new sanctions on Iran, North Korea, and Russia, makes clear that the United States will not tolerate interference in our democratic process, and that we remain aligned with our allies against Russian subversion and destabilization. The final bill reflects feedback from European allies regarding energy sanctions concerns, and ensures that U.S. agencies can delay sanctions on the intelligence and defense sectors that might negatively affect U.S. companies and those of our allies. B5 4. Prospective UN Role in Ukraine: ! Background: Ukraine President Poroshenko has publicly called for a UN peacekeeping mission in the separatist-controlled areas of Ukraine's Don bas region since 2015. The Ukraine mission may revive a proposal to increase UN involvement in the conflict, possibly including the establishment of a peacekeeping mission. USUN/POL assesses Russia is extremely likely to co-opt the Security Council's engagement to legitimize its own ongoing military presence in eastern Ukraine. Such a move may also reaffirm Ukraine's loss of control over Luhansk and provide Russiajustification for their occupation since 2014. Ukraine has not pushed this proposal strongly during 2017.

How have you been able to apply what you learned in South Carolina political circles at the UN? Personal - what has the transition to New York been like for you and your family? From your early days in Bamberg, SCto bringing the Confederate flag down in SCyou have been able to fight racism and prejudice. How has that helped you in a place as diverse as the United Nations? Many people were surprised you joined this administration. How have you been able to remain true to yourself and your tone in an administration that often communicates differently than you? 2. 2. Negotiating: navigating diplomacy at the UN How did you get this major resolution on North Korea passed? We would love any details or anecdotes that can make the negotiation process come alive. How do you negotiate with other countries diplomatically when it comes to the budget, peacekeeping, etc. while ensuring America's priorities are put first? Your UN colleagues point out that you are a shrewd negotiator who's willing to get your hands dirty, but that you always manage to do so with a smile. How are you making sure the UN is accountable and has value for the American people, as opposed to business as usual? We understand you have a close relationship with the SGas it relates to UN reform and negotiating the UN budget. Can you discuss that further? Israel - how have you changed anti-Israel culture at UN? How do you communicate US policy decisions to your colleagues at the UN? 3. 3. Nikki Haley: the Cabinet member How do you help President Trump and the Administration shape foreign policy? You have often been the leading voice on issues like human rights, especially when others in the Administration don't seem as supportive. What will US priories be this year at UNGA? How do you navigate an administration the frequently appears to have different views? Not only are you are a Cabinet level official, you sit on the NSCand are invited to Cabinet level meetings at the White House. Not everyone in your job has had that level of influence.

Historically, most member states have voted in support of the resolution, with only the United States and Israel opposed. Cote d'Ivoire PR Tanoh-Boutchoue, as chair of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), has already indicated that he will deliver a strong statement in support of the resolution on behalf of the OIC, though he personally expressed to USUN on multiple occasions that he feels uncomfortable doing so. Sub-regional trade bloc MERCOSUR-- Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay -- has also told us it will be speaking out in support of the resolution. Last year, to reflect the Cuba policy shift under President Obama, the United States abstained for the first time. The new Cuba policy under President Trump reaffirms the United States statutory embargo of Cuba and opposes calls in the United Nations and other international fora for its termination. The policy also mandates regular reporting on Cuba's progress -- if any -toward greater political and economic freedom. For that reason, we will be voting "No" this year. Sequence of Events: 10:00AM NH arrives at General Assembly and takes seat at the U.S. desk. General debate opens. 10:05AM 7 regional organizations deliver remarks at the podium. Note: NH will speak after all regional organizations have delivered their remarks. The US is the first member state to speak. ~10:S0AM UN conference officer wil I escort NH to one of the blue seats along the side of the Hall, to the left of the podium (when looking at the podium). 10:59AM PGA Miroslav Lajcak will ask the US to deliver remarks. 11:00AM NH moves to podium and delivers remarks. 11:15AM NH departs. FYI: 11:20AM 13 member states deliver remarks at the podium; Cuba has requested to go Iast. 12:15PM Ambassador Sison delivers explanation of vote (EOV) from the U.S. desk, following the general debate and before the vote.

This meeting is an opportunity t o lay out our position Ion the MINUSCAmandate.I Background: The security situation in CAR has deteriorated over the last six months with violence spreading to parts of the country that were previously peaceful. MINUSCA took decisive action to combat armed group s and protect civilian s. Armed group s repeatedly targeted peacekeepers, which resulted in the death of 12 MINUSCA peacekeepers since January. MINUSCA responded to increased violence by deploying an additional infantry company to Bria and delaying the planned arrival in MINUSCA of an engineering company to allow for the deployment of a company in Bangui. The Secretary General has requested 900 additional personnel, which would be comprised of two infantry companies (300 troop s) to deploy to the East and one battalion (600 troop s) in the Center to be used as a reserve quick reaction force . The expectation is that additional troops will allow MINUSCA to provide increased Protection of Civilians and be more flexible in responding to violence. The CARgovernment worked with facilitators from the region which established an "African Initiative" to develop a roadmap for peace and reconciliation in CAR.I STATE-USUN-17-0503-C-000940 UNCLASS IFIED U.S .

Volker met with his Russian counterpart, presidential advisor Vladislav Surkov on October 8 in Belgrade, Serbia, to discuss Russia's proposed UN mission in Ukraine, but came to no common understanding with Surkov of the scope and mandate of a possible PKO mission. Russia insists on a mission limited to providing security for Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)monitors in confined areas of the conflict zone, while we and like-minded countries insist that any UN mission must have a broad geographic and operational mandate. He will meet with Surkov again in mid-November. Volker recently had meetings in Berlin, Kyiv, and Stockholm to discuss mission possibilities and parameters . Volker proposes to present parameters for a UN force that authorizes access to the entire conflict zone (not just the line of contact, which Russia originally proposed), with provisions to oversee disarmament and demobilization.

The timing of elections is staggered so a third of the ICJis elected every three years. Nominations of candidates for election are made by individuals who sit on the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA),who act in "national groups ." Every "national group" may nominate up to four candidates, no more than two of their own nationality. For this round, the U.S. national group co-nominated the UK and French candidates, both of whom are 10 judge incumbents. Procedure: This year, the GA and the Council will hold simultaneous elections for the 10. Ambassador Sison will be sitting in the United States chair in the GA. Each nomination requires an absolute majority in both the GA (97 votes) and Security Council (8 votes) to be elected. If one or more candidates do not receive the required majority in both bodies, additional rounds of voting will occur. Furthermore, if a body does not reach a recommendation for five candidates on the first round, that body will hold subsequent rounds until five candidates receive the required majority. It is recommended that you only cast the first vote in the Security Council. A voting cable will be provided to you for instructions on how to vote. Nominees: There are six nominees, but only five votes can be cast. 1. Ronny Abraham, France incumbent ICJjudge 2. Dalveer Bhandari, India incumbent ICJjudge 3.
