(C) We delivered Ref A demarche to Anneli Vuorinen, Director
of MFA's Unit for Humanitarian Assistance. Vuorinen said
Finland agrees with the U.S. position set out in the
demarche, and the Finnish Mission in Geneva has been
instructed to say so to the Swiss. Vuorinen commented that
her sense of the ICRC Donor Support Group meeting in Canada
was that those attending were agreed that this is the right
time to convene the conference on the Third Additional
Protocol, and that it would help if Support Group nations all
made this point individually to the Swiss Government.
