The government of Venezuela today made a voluntary contribution of $40,000 to strengthen efforts by the Organization of American States (OAS) to prepare and negotiate the Draft Social Charter of the Americas. OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza accepted the donation presented by Venezuela’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for North America and Multilateral Issues, Ambassador Jorge Valero, during a brief ceremony held at the hemispheric body’s headquarters.
Insulza welcomed the Venezuelan government’s initiative and said it will facilitate the operation of the working group drafting this instrument, which he said is so essential to the Organization and to the region. “This contribution gives us the impetus to be able to comply with the set time limits and complete the debates on the issue this year, as has been proposed,” the Secretary General said.
Valero, who also serves as Venezuela’s Permanent Representative to the OAS, said the contribution will help cover costs incurred by the working group’s meetings this year. He said his government considers it essential to comply with the mandate—established by the region’s foreign ministers at the OAS General Assembly in June 2006 in the Dominican Republic— “to finalize and adopt the Social Charter of the Americas and its Plan of Action before the close of 2007.”
The Social Charter would articulate a hemispheric perspective on fighting poverty and promoting social equity and inclusion. The General Assembly has said that the Plan of Action should include the principles of social development and establish specific goals and targets that reinforce OAS instruments on democracy, integral development and the fight against poverty.
Also attending today’s ceremony were Ambassador Nelson Pineda, Venezuela’s Alternate Representative to the OAS, and Janeth Arocha, Chief of Staff of Deputy Minister Valero.
