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.

*Note: Generally speaking, no one from the USG is allowed to visit a country without first getting the Embassy's approval via a "country clearance." These will also convey basic information that the official visitor should be aware of in order to avoid problems.
