Welcome to the first issue of the newsletter of the
Department of International Law of the Organization
of American States (OAS). We want to begin the year
by launching this new initiative, given the great
interest shown both within and outside the
Organization regarding the recent work of our
Department. We intend the newsletter to serve as a
tool for disseminating both recent activities and
those to take place in the near future, and it will
be distributed on a quarterly basis.
The Department of International Law is in the process
of writing a Model Inter-American Law on Access to
Public Information, as well as a guide for its
implementation, a task entrusted to the Department by
the General Assembly in resolution
AG/RES. 2514 (XXXIX-O/09).
TIn
2009, the Department of International Law launched a
program of action to strengthen the participation of
indigenous populations in the Inter-American System.
Under this program, the Department began a cycle of
training and empowerment courses for indigenous
leaders to include courses on good government, the
Inter-American System, and the political
participation of women...
The Department of International Law held a meeting,
on 3- 4 November in Washington, D.C., of the
Spanish-speaking pilot group that is working to
implement an inter-American network of legal
cooperation and mutual assistance in family and child
law.
On Thursday 5 November 2009, the Department of
International Law held the first Workshop on
Access to Justice at its offices, with the
purpose of promoting knowledge on the subject within
the Organization and in line with the mandate of the
Declaration of Principles of the Second Summit of the
Americas (Santiago, Chile, 18-19 April 1998).
On 11 January 2010 the Department of International
Law met with the Representative of the Secretary
General of the United Nations on the Human Rights of
Internally Displaced Persons, Dr. Walter Kälin.
