CONVOCATION OF A MEETING OF CONSULTATION OF MINISTERS OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO CONSIDER THE TOPIC “SOVEREIGN DEBT RESTRUCTURING: THE CASE OF ARGENTINA AND ITS SYSTEMIC CONSEQUENCES”[1]

(Adopted by the Permanent Council at its Special meeting held on June 30, 2014)

THE PERMANENT COUNCIL OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES,

CONSIDERING the request submitted by the Government of the Republic of Argentina to the Permanent Council to convene a meeting of consultation of ministers of foreign affairs under the OAS Charter,

RESOLVES:

To convene a meeting of consultation of ministers of foreign affairs at the Headquarters of the Organization of American States in Washington, D.C., at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 3, 2014, in order to:

1. Consider the topic “Sovereign Debt Restructuring: The Case of Argentina and Its Systemic Consequences,” on which reports will be presented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Worship of Argentina, Héctor Timerman, and the Minister of Economy and Finance of Argentina, Axel Kicillof

 

[1].   The United States would have abstained if a formal vote had been taken on this resolution which has now been approved by acclamation. We would like to underscore that this is an issue that is being addressed by our judicial system, which is an independent branch of government in the United States and would caution Council members not to be seen as interfering in a domestic court proceeding.
