CHAIRING OAS PERMANENT COUNCIL, GRENADIAN AMBASSADOR REASSERTS ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT FOCUS
October 9, 2002
Chairing the Organization of American States' (OAS) Permanent Council for the first time, Grenada's Ambassador Denis Antoine declared today that he would continue to stress the OAS Charter mandate to promote economic, social and cultural development of member states.
"This charter mandate must now be looked at in the context of new security paradigms," the Ambassador Antoine asserted as he steered the business of the hemispheric Council he will lead for the next three months. "The problems of poverty and the quest for sustainable development are still there, and [are] aggravated by current economic woes," he noted, pressing the need to give due priority to "those mandates that focus on improving people's lives."
The Chairman cited democracy promotion and fighting terrorism, saying the Permanent Council must continue to build on the momentum gained. He challenged the Hemisphere's nations to deepen cooperation among themselves and with OAS observer countries and institutions and other regional and global partners as well. He urged the Council to reach out to "global neighbors" such as the African continent which, he said, faces many of the same challenges the Americas are tackling.
Calling on civil society and all stakeholders to "weigh in now with more tangible support," the OAS Permanent Council leader declared: "The strategy and vision, which the OAS has in place, should be embraced by all, with the understanding that cooperation for development is salient to ensure peace and security of our Hemisphere."
The member state delegates considered a wide ranging agenda of issues, among them a Panama-initiated proposal to establish an American democracy prize and a presentation by Mexico's Ambassador on the Third Meeting of Ministers of Education, which Mexico has offered to host next August.
