The Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) today bid farewell to the Permanent Representative of St. Kitts and Nevis, Ambassador Izben C. Williams, who ended his appointment to the hemispheric organization after an uninterrupted tenure of nearly ten years.
During the regular session of the Permanent Council, the Secretary General of the OAS, Jose Miguel Insulza, stated that the diplomat will be remembered for having “always advocated for the security of the nations in the Caribbean,” and highlighted how “because of his intellect” he “had influence in controversial issues before this Council.”
The President of the Permanent Council and representative of El Salvador, Ambassador Joaquin Maza, emphasized that Ambassador Williams has always been “a great defender of democracy and peace in our hemisphere.”
The Caribbean diplomat thanked the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis for the “privilege” of representing his country in the Organization and he praised the “equitable manner” and the “mutual respect” that to his judgment presided over debates at the Permanent Council during his period. This, he added, “denotes the maturity of this inter-American body.”
Ambassador Williams expressed his satisfaction upon leaving behind him “an OAS that today has the capacity and clear commitment of political leadership that upholds its importance in this globalized world, always preserving its basic principles.”
The representatives of Jamaica, Uruguay, the United States, Chile, Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Venezuela, Dominica, Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Paraguay, and the Permanent Observer of France, highlighted the diplomat’s ability to find consensus “in the most complicated moments, always with his trademark discretion.”
