Suriname today assumed the chairmanship of the Organization of American States (OAS) Permanent Council , in the person of that country’s Permanent Representative, Ambassador Henry L. Illes, who pledged to continue focusing attention on poverty-eradication and development issues.
Ambassador Illes accepted the gavel from Ambassador Ellsworth John of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, during a brief ceremony at OAS headquarters. Illes will lead the hemispheric organization’s second highest decision-making body for the next three months, while Ambassador John becomes the Vice Chairman for that period.
In his maiden address to the Council, shortly after the ceremony, Illes outlined the urgency of combating poverty and hunger, noting how they militate against democracy. He urged his colleagues to ensure that future generations not be given reason to blame the current leadership for lacking the courage to tackle the problem of poverty, and stressed the need to make Permanent Council deliberations serve the people of the Americas in a more effective and more efficient manner.
“While all member states struggle with a range of issues such as corruption, transnational organized crime, terrorism, gang violence, illegal drug trafficking and HIV/AIDS,” Ambassador Illes told his colleagues in the Permanent Council, “we are aware that member states differ significantly in their capacity to respond to these issues systematically and effectively.”
During the meeting, Chile’s new Permanent Representative, Ambassador Pedro Oyarce Yuraszeck also delivered his first address to the Permanent Council, restating his government’s continued firm commitment to doing its part to fulfill the hemispheric agenda objectives. He also presented a broad overview of developments and policies priorities in his country.
