HEMISPHERE HAS IMPLEMENTED IMPORTANT MANDATES SINCE SUMMIT
March 25, 2002
The adoption of the Inter-American Democratic Charter last September is "a signal achievement, for it strengthens the cornerstone, the fundamental underpinnings, of our cooperation," Assistant Secretary General Luigi Einaudi told delegates at the start of a Summit Implementation Review Group (SIRG) meeting, at the Organization of American States in Washington today.
"We are on track," asserted Ambassador Einaudi, citing progress on such Summit of the Americas mandates as the Draft Inter-American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as well as recent meetings of health and environment ministers and justice ministers of the Americas.
He suggested that the hemispheric summit process could play a critical role in creating better links between domestic and international areas, stressing that the Hemisphere's leaders "are the ones who can most easily bridge the gap between domestic and international issues and better organize the strengths of the international community to support member states with difficulties." He also cautioned against allowing current anti-terrorism actions to hinder progress on regional integration.
Chairing the two-day event, Marc Lortie, the Canadian Prime Minister's Representative for the Summit of the Americas, spoke about SIRG efforts to ensure effective implementation. He explained the purpose of this meeting as affording "a hard look at where we are," ahead of the upcoming 26th ministerial-level SIRG meeting in Barbados.
In their deliberations, the participants from the OAS member states are considering an agenda covering such issues as how national and hemispheric priorities are adjusting to economic and social challenges; financing of Summit initiatives; the role of the Caribbean Development Bank, the Central American Bank for Economic Integration and the Andean Development Corporation; the outcome of the just-concluded United Nations International Conference on Financing for Development; and preparations for the 26th ministerial-level meeting of the SIRG.
