MEXICO URGES OAS TO TAKE UP CHALLENGE OF MONTERREY CONFERENCE
September 19, 2002
The Organization American States (OAS) must foster new understanding to help "reposition" the entire inter-American system, in light of commitments that the developed countries undertook at the Monterrey Conference last March, according to Mexico's Ambassador to the OAS, Miguel Ruiz Cabañas.
The Mexican Permanent Representative told the Permanent Council today that the Organization "is the most suitable inter-American forum to pursue democratic, wide-ranging and consultative discussions" to better prepare the existing institutions and mechanisms to handle the increased flow of resources that the developed countries had pledged in April.
He identified the OAS Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CIDI) as the forum best placed to launch such discussions, further arguing for "a mechanism to ensure that our region, especially the least developed parts of Central America and the Caribbean that most need such funds, not miss out on these new opportunities because of inertia or inaction."
According to the Ambassador, the Monterrey Conference was a historic gathering where governments, business leaders and civil society discussed issues and recommended policies to promote and spur development in all the countries.
In his remarks to the member state delegations, Director General of the Inter-American Agency for Cooperation and Development (IACD), Ronald Scheman, and Unit for Sustainable Development and Environment Director, Sofialeticia Morales, presented a preliminary document that underscores the crucial role of the inter-American system. The institutions of the inter-American system must join efforts on a hemispheric strategy to tackle poverty, it argues.
