OAS AND IOM SIGN AGREEMENT TO STRENGTHEN COOPERATION ON MIGRATION ISSUES
October 14, 2009
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, and the Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), William Lacy Swing, signed Wednesday an agreement to strengthen the cooperation between both organizations.
The agreement, signed in the Gallery of Heroes of the OAS Headquarters in Washington, DC, aims at achieving “the maximum benefits” for the OAS Member States “and their populations.” Specifically, the agreement establishes six areas of cooperation: International Migration Law, Labor Migration, Combat of Human Trafficking, Human Rights of Migrants, Democracy Strengthening and Education for Migrant Youth and Children.
The cooperation will include undertaking initiatives such as conducting courses, studies, dispatching experts, technical visits, seminars, symposia, international colloquia, and setting up commissions, committees or other technical or advisory bodies.
“By signing this agreement we assure our Member States of our commitment to work with the IOM to join our efforts to carry out useful and productive work that assists our member states in dealing with the most pressing topics of the hemispheric agenda related to migration,” said Secretary General Insulza.
The head of the IOM recalled that since its creation the IOM has had close ties with the OAS. “The signing of this cooperation agreement is the latest evidence of our desire and our determination to deepen and strengthen this partnership,” said Director General Swing. “I would like to offer my congratulations and appreciation to Secretary General Insulza, to all of the OAS General Secretariat and Member States for the very strong, formal interest that the OAS is continuing to show in migration,” he added.
The event was also attended by the Chair of the OAS Permanent Council and Permanent Representative of Colombia, Luis Alfonso Hoyos, the Chair of the Special Committee on Migration Issues and Permanent Representative of Haiti, Duly Brutus, the IOM Regional Representative for North America and the Caribbean, Richard Scott, and several permanent representatives to the OAS.
