Former Bolivian President Hugo Bánzer Suárez, who died recently, was hailed by the inter-American community as a champion of his country's democracy, as member state delegations observed a minute of silence in his memory.
The Organization's Permanent Council offered the tribute to Banzer's memory at its regular session Wednesday afternoon. Conveying condolences to the people and government of Bolivia, the Permanent Council Chair, El Salvador's Ambassador Margarita Escobar, said the Andean nation has been thrown into mourning by the passing of Bánzer, who led until the middle of last year.
Expressing appreciation for the homage, Bolivia's Ambassador Marcelo Ostria Trigo credited the late leader with taking a major role in the nation's effort to "restore democracy, put an end to the uncertainty and chart the course to freedom." The Ambassador recalled Bánzer's initiatives encouraging his compatriots to "assume their role in society with responsibility and a spirit of giving."
The Permanent Council also extended condolences to the Colombian nation and, in particular, to the families of victims of last week's massacre in the country's Chocó Department.
"What occurred in Colombia is a terrorist act: a real massacre and a grave violation of every rule of international law," declared Ambassador Humberto de la Calle, the Colombian Permanent Representative, thanking the hemispheric Permanent Council for its expressions of sympathies, which he termed "an important message for all of us."
