OAS Permanent Council Mourns Deaths of Mexican Author Fuentes, Honduran Journalist Villatoro
May 16, 2012
The Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) today expressed its condolences on the passing of Mexican author Carlos Fuentes and the murder of Honduran journalist Angel Alfredo Villatoro.
In an ordinary session of the body at its headquarters in Washington, DC, Permanent Council Chair Leónidas Rosa Bautista issued “a profound expression of condolences to the people and government of Mexico in the name of the Permanent Council, and on my own behalf on the death of the great Mexican author, I would say universal author, Carlos Fuentes.” The Chair of the Permanent Council was joined in offering condolences by numerous representatives, many recalling the impact his life and his work made within the region and in the entire world.
The Council also expressed its rejection of the attack in Colombia on the country’s former Justice and Interior Minister Fernando Londoño, as well as the murder in Honduras of journalist Ángel Alfredo Villatoro, about whose death the Council Chair said “this reprehensible situation should drive us to work harder here at the OAS to combat organized crime, terrorism, drug trafficking and all of these scourges that undermine our society and that are a true threat to democracy, human rights and the rule of law.”
The Permanent Council also received today the new Permanent Representative of Guatemala to the OAS, Ambassador Rodrigo Vielmann, who pledged that his government “confirmed its decided commitment to Inter-American multilateralism and reaffirmed its belief in the goodness” of the Inter-American system. Ambassador Vielmann noted his country’s history of active participation in the hemispheric system as a founding member of the Pan-American Union, and said the organization could count on Guatemala to support its values.
