Viewing cable 07PARIS2002, FRANCE: UN OPERATION IN COTE D'IVOIRE

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

• The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
• The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
• The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.

To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT: FRANCE:  UN OPERATION IN COTE D'IVOIRE 
 
REF: STATE 68162 
 
We conveyed on May 18 relevant portions of reftel to MFA IO 
and AF contacts, stressing the importance of reaching 
agreement on UNOCI's future by June 1.  We had discussed 
informally the issue of Congressional notification earlier 
with several of our contacts, who were aware of USG 
notification requirements, having dealt with that issue on 
previous occasions concerning Cote d'Ivoire.  We expect to 
discuss UNOCI's mandate renewal with MFA counterparts in 
detail the week of May 21.
