The government of Belize today signed the Inter-American Convention on Serving Criminal Sentences Abroad, saying the move is a tangible manifestation of both its commitment to the inter-American system and its “concern for the welfare of its citizens abroad.”
Ambassador Lisa Shoman, the Permanent Representative to the Organization of American States, signed the hemispheric treaty on behalf of her government, during a brief ceremony with Acting Secretary General Luigi R. Einaudi. Ambassador Shoman went on to note: “It is anticipated that Belizeans serving criminal sentences abroad will benefit from having the option of seeking transfer to a penal institution in Belize to serve criminal sentences.
Shoman stressed that becoming a party to these conventions and supporting the inter-American system infrastructure is one of the forms in which the countries of the Americas undertake their obligations as responsible states of this hemisphere.
The Acting Secretary General, meanwhile, congratulated the move by Belize, explaining the rule of law and the harmonization of laws among states in the hemisphere as central to what the OAS is and can do. “This is a further step in that primary function and direction,” Einaudi said of the today’s signing by Belize, as he also commended the OAS instrument as one that facilitates “basic needs of citizenship and humanity.”
Following today’s signing, the documents will be submitted for the consideration of the Belizean Senate, whose approval will enable Belize to ratify the inter-American Convention that was adopted in June 1993 and entered into force in April 1996.
