Ecuador today deposited at the General Secretariat of the Organization of the American States (OAS) the instrument of ratification of the Inter-American Convention against Racism, Racial Discrimination and Related Forms of Intolerance.
During the ceremony, the Permanent Representative of Ecuador to the OAS, Carlos Alberto Játiva, said that with this initiative his country "joins the national and hemispheric efforts to ensure that the rights recognized in this treaty may be reaffirmed, effectively implemented and protected, inspired by the principles of legal equality and non-discrimination."
For his part, the Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro, emphasized that the ratification "clearly shows the adherence of Ecuador to the international regulations that seek to guarantee the right to non-discrimination." "We take this opportunity to invite OAS member states to ratify this Convention, and to put in motion the cooperation forum for the exchange of policies and regulations, which requires a total of ten states party," added the Secretary General.
Ecuador became the fourth country to ratify the Convention, adopted by the OAS General Assembly in 2013 after 13 years of negotiations. Antigua and Barbuda, Costa Rica and Uruguay had previously ratified the Convention.
