    SUBJECT: UNSC RACE: DUELING DIP NOTES IN COSTA RICA

    REF: A. SAN JOSE WHA/CEN FAX 10/25/06

         ¶B. SAN JOSE 2223 (NOTAL)

    Classified By: Ambassador Mark Langdale per section 1.4(d).

    ¶1.  (U) In the past week, both Venezuela and Guatemala
    continued their diplomatic lobbying efforts in Costa Rica for
    the 2007 GRULAC UNSC seat. In a circular Diplomatic Note
    dated 18 October (Ref A), the GOV reiterated that "it was
    maintaining and would maintain until the end" its candidacy,
    because the "government wishes to continue to contribute to
    the advancement of activities (in the UNSC) for the benefit
    of the region and to represent the voice of the people of the
    third world." Venezuela's candidacy, the note concluded, "has
    the objective of fighting for the democratization of the UN
    and for international social justice" (informal translation).

    ¶2.  (U) On October 23, the Guatemalans responded in kind,
    circulating a Note which covered MFA Press Communique
    122-2006, which detailed why the GOG was continuing its
    candidacy.  The full text is on the Guatemalan MFA website.
    Key points follow (informal translation):

    -- Given the "polarized environment" because Venezuela would
    not withdraw "gallantly," the normal action in voting
    situations such as this, the GOG sees only two options to
    resolve the impasse: either Guatemala continues its efforts
    to attract enough votes to be elected, or the GRULAC will
    have to find a third, consensus candidate "that would not be
    charged with the unfair stigma assigned (to Guatemala) for
    being linked to the foreign policy of a Permanent Member of
    the Security Council (the United States)."

    -- The MFA release went on to reaffirm Guatemala's continued
    candidacy and to "logically" reject the second option
    (withdrawal) as "unjust" for three reasons:
    a) with little effort, another country would be able to build
    on Guatemala's "intense" efforts to launch its campaign;
    b) Guatemala had built an "insurmountable lead" in votes; and
    c) withdrawing now would disqualify Guatemala to become the
    consensus candidate for reasons "not based on reality" (the
    U.S.-linked stigma noted above).

    ¶3. (C) Given the extensive (and conflicting) media coverage
    about the October 25 GRULAC meeting, including the rumored
    contest between Bolivia and Costa Rica as possible consensus
    candidates, we conferred with FM Stagno's Chief of Staff,
    Antonio Alarcon, that same day.  He confirmed that Costa
    Rica's position, "in support of Guatemala until the end," has
    not changed.  Separately, President Arias was quoted by media
    on October 24 as reaffirming that a UNSC seat for the 2008
    session (not 2007) remained Costa Rica's objective.

    ¶4. (C) COMMENT: We have no reason to doubt Costa Rica's
    position, which has been reiterated to us by Alarcon and
    number of senior MFA officials since October 16. President
    Arias himself made clear to USOAS Ambassador Maisto on
    September 29 that the GOCR was focused on taking the 2008
    GRULAC seat (Ref B).  Nontheless, the GOCR is no doubt
    enjoying the positive attention.
    LANGDALE
