OAS SENDING MISSION TO VENEZUELA TO PROMOTE
NORMALIZATION OF DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM
April 14, 2002
After a special, all-day session Saturday, the Organization of American States Permanent Council condemned the interruption of the constitutional order in Venezuela and decided to send urgently to that country, as a matter of urgency, a Mission headed by the Secretary General of the OAS. The Mission's purpose is to conduct a fact-finding mission and undertake the necessary diplomatic initiatives, including good offices, to promote as quickly as possible the normalization of the democratic institutional framework.
The Permanent Council also expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan people, and support for their resolve to re-establish full democracy, with guarantees for citizens and respect for fundamental freedoms, within the framework of the Inter-American Democratic Charter.
Noting that an alteration of the constitutional regime has occurred in Venezuela, which seriously impairs the democratic order and justifies the application of the mechanisms provided for in Article 20 of the Inter-American Democratic Charter, the Permanent Council, the Organization's second highest decision-making body, decided to
CP09570E01
call a special session of the General Assembly, to be held at OAS headquarters, on Thursday, April 18, 2002, to receive the report of the Secretary General and to adopt such decisions as it may deem appropriate.
After the resolution was approved, Venezuela's Ambassador to the OAS, Jorge Valero, thanked the member states for their show of solidarity and asked the OAS to use its good offices to ensure fundamental democratic freedoms are maintained in his country.
