OAS SECRETARY GENERAL CONDEMNS TERRORIST ATTACK IN PERU
March 21, 2002
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), César Gaviria, today condemned the terrorist attack in Lima, Peru, where a car-bomb explosion near the U.S. embassy left several people dead and others wounded.
"The Organization of American States mourns with the families of all the victims and categorically repudiates this cruel attack, which is intended to prevent the establishment of closer ties among the governments of the United States, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador in their effort to combat drugs and strengthen democracy and development," Gaviria said, referring to the five-nation weekend summit scheduled to take place in Lima. "Once more we see the evil link between drugs and terrorism. These tragic events strengthen our resolve to continue in the hemispheric struggle against these threats."
The Secretary General hailed President Bush's decision to continue his planned visits to Peru, as well as Mexico and El Salvador. "This demonstrates the priority the American government has given to hemispheric affairs, that despite this barbaric act it remains firmly commited to strengthening the ties of friendship and cooperation among our countries," Gaviria said.
"The working group that is meeting today at the OAS to finalize a draft Inter-American Convention against Terrorism also joins in this expression of solidarity with the Peruvian government and people, which reflects the hemispheric consensus to prevent, punish and eliminate terrorism from the Americas."
