OAS to Observe Regional and Municipal Elections in Peru
September 7, 2010
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, and the government of Peru today signed an agreement on the privileges and immunities for the OAS Electoral Observation Mission that will follow the elections and national referendum on the proposed bill to return Fonavi funds to the workers that contributed to it, scheduled for October 3rd.
During the signing ceremony, held at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC, the Permanent Representative of Peru to the OAS, Ambassador Hugo de Zela, said the agreement is “a demonstration of the renewed trust that Peru places on the Organization’s processes of electoral observation.”
The Peruvian diplomat referred to the long trajectory the OAS has in observing elections and noted that this task “helps the process of strengthening democracy in the countries of the region.” He added that “it may already be said there is an OAS seal of quality. That is why it has been of particular importance to us to invite the Organization to follow our elections.”
For his part, Secretary General Insulza said the regional and municipal elections of October 3rd “will consolidate a structure that is already very impressive and proof of representativeness in the Peruvian nation.” Insulza also highlighted the active role of civil society organizations in the South American nation, “a democracy that enjoys a very strong and relevant internal political debate.”
Miguel Abdón Saguier, a lawyer and senator in Paraguay, has been appointed as Chief of Mission by the Secretary General. Saguier, who has been President of the Senate and Minister of Foreign Affairs, will head a group of some 70 international observers to be deployed throughout the entire nation to observe the electoral process.
The agreement signed today is the first step in formalizing the presence of an Electoral Observation Mission. The Chief of Mission and the President of the National Jury of Elections of Peru , Hugo Sivina Hurtado, will sign an Observation Procedures Agreement on September 13 in Lima.
