Real Diplomacy and Peacekeeping

US State Department cables from places I have served plus items from my time as a UN peacekeeper. To increase public awareness of how diplomacy and peacekeeping are (were) actually done. All cables cleared by USG FOIA procedure. Cables are mostly those sent under my name from my posts but also others in which I was directly involved. UN documents and other items will also include occasional notes and background. Most recent in series on top with cables under the new series of UN documents.

Cables and More Released through FOIA

As I post cables and other material from my own service abroad, I also wish to note that the US National Archives (NARA) posts old diplomatic cables, as mandated by US law for automatic declassification of most material after 25 years. NARA is 11 years behind (because the US Congress shorts its budget and no one seems to complain). The State Department FOIA office posts material as well – including Hillary email – and also allows requests online.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
