s/s 6992 DECLASSIFIED 677 F.0. 10501 DINATIONAL 3 January 3, 1950 Departure of the Uruguayan Ambassador on home leave; the visit to Uruguay of State Department Gounselor George F. Kennan; and diverse matters, especially Uruguayan interest in the March 1950 meeting of the Inter-American Council of Jurists. The Secretary Dr. Alberto Dominguez Campora, Uruguayan Ambassador Counselor George F. Kennan Mr. R. Kenneth Oakley - EC ARA - Mr. Pearson s/s American Embassy, Montevideo The Ambassador explained that he had called to say good- bye before departing on home leave and to offer me his services for any matter I might like to have discussed with the Uru- guayan Government. I replied that my only request would be that Mr. Kennan "be taken care of" when he visits Uruguay. The Ambassador stated that this had already been arranged and that he had, while waiting in the anteroom, offered Mr. Kennan facilities and cooperation of any and every kind. The Ambassador referred to my speech on inter-American policy made in New York on September 19. He thought the speech most important. Also important to the Uruguayan Government, he said, is the fortheoming meeting in Rio de Janeiro in) March 1950 of the Inter-American Gouncil of Jurists. Uruguay especially is interested in the following three themes: codi- fication of rights and duties of nations, recognition of de facto governments, and creation of a tribunal to hear cases of alleged violation of human rights. The Ambassador then spoke of his gratitude for the as- sistance rendered by various Department officials, especially Assistant Secretary Miller and Mr. Oakley. He thanked me for his reception in the United States and said he would look for- ward to seeing me again after his return to the United States in late April. Dean Acheson ARA:EC : RKOakley tmt
