We would always look at the analysis of the situation, not only by our own diplomatic missions but also by other international organizations, whether that's the United Nations, or the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe if it's an event taking place in Europe, or the Organization of American States. That kind of reporting that the department receives from its missions abroad, from multilateral institutions, and from public reporting and otherwise would all form part of the analysis of the situation.
