OEA/Ser.P AG/RES. 1822 (XXXI-O/01) 5 June 2001 Original: Spanish SUPPORT OF THE INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK FOR THE SUMMIT OF THE AMERICAS ACTION PLAN (Resolution adopted at the third plenary session, held on June 5, 2001; subject to review by the Style Committee) THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, CONSIDERING: That in the Third Summit of the Americas, the democratically elected Heads of State and Government adopted the Declaration of Québec City that states: "We acknowledge that the values and practices of democracy are fundamental to the advancement of our objectives. The maintenance and strengthening of the rule of law and strict respect for the democratic system are, at the same time, a goal and a shared commitment of our presence at this and future Summits. Consequently, any unconstitutional alteration or interruption of the democratic order in a state of the Hemisphere constitutes an insurmountable obstacle to the participation of that state's government in the Summit of the Americas process;" That the declaration also states: "We value the active support of the Organization of American States and its specialized organs, particularly the Pan American Health Organization, the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture and the Inter-American Children's Institute, as well as the Inter-American Development Bank, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean and the World Bank. We call upon these institutions and other regional and international organizations to establish greater coordination for support to the implementation and follow-up to the Plan of Action of this Summit;" and TAKING INTO ACCOUNT that it is desirable for all entities of the Inter-American System to reflect common values and coordinate their activities to support the implementation of the Plan of Action and the need for universality of its Hemispheric membership, RESOLVES: 1. To invite the Inter-American Development Bank, as a partner institution in the Summit of the Americas process and an integral member of the Inter-American System, to review its policies and procedures to ensure the greater integration between the values and goals of the Summit referred to above are fully reflected therein. 2. To encourage the Inter-American Development Bank to incorporate these priorities into the programs of the Bank and review the Bank's activities to better support the implementation and follow-up to the Summit Plan of Action.
