BOLIVIA, MEXICO AND PANAMA REAFFIRM
COMMITMENT TO INTER-AMERICAN TREATIES
April 9, 2002
Bolivia, Mexico and Panama today signed and ratified a series of Organization of American States treaties, reaffirming their commitment to the inter-American legal system.
Ambassador Marcelo Ostria Trigo of Bolivia deposited with Secretary General César Gaviria the instrument whereby his government ratified the Convention to Prevent and Punish Acts of Terrorism Taking the Form of Crimes against Persons and Related Extortion that are of International Significance. Fifteen member states have ratified this treaty that was signed in Washington, D.C., in February 1971.
In another brief ceremony, Mexico's Ambassador to the OAS, Miguel Ruiz Cabañas, deposited ratification instruments for the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons, adopted in Belém do Pará, Brazil, in June 1994. Ten states have so far ratified this Convention.
The Mexican diplomat also partially withdrew the interpretative statements and reservation his government had registered when it acceded to the American Convention on Human Rights, which was signed in San José, Costa Rica, in November 1969.
Panama's Ambassador to the OAS, Juan Manuel Castulovich, signed on his government's behalf the Inter-American Convention on an International Amateur Radio Operator Permit. This hemispheric instrument was signed in Haiti in June 1995 and has seven ratifying states so far.
