OAS SECRETARY GENERAL RECEIVES DELEGATION
FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF BOLIVIA
December 5, 2007
Following a meeting with a delegation from the Bolivian Government, the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, reiterated that the regional Organization is at their disposal for helping to resolve the political impasse that nation is going through.
Insulza received the Vice-Minister of Coordination with the Social Movements, Sacha Lorenti, the Vice-Minister of Government Coordination, Hector Arce, and Ambassador Jorge Reynaldo Cuadros Anaya, Permanent Representative of Bolivia to the OAS. The delegation stated the receptiveness of the Bolivian Government to OAS’s participation in any process that would bring together the Government and other political sectors. However, they did not submit a formal request for a Mission of the hemispheric Organization to visit the Andean nation.
“I do not think that sending a Mission to Bolivia pursuant to the Democratic Charter is applicable in this case, but I do not rule out the possibility of a visit by OAS authorities in the coming days, if it is agreed upon with the Government of Bolivia,” said the Secretary General at the end of the meeting. Insulza explained that Missions are deployed “when there is a high level crisis.” However, under the present circumstances, it would be adequate to dispense with formalities that would complicate approaching the issue in a rapid manner.
Summarizing the conclusions of two separate visits by Bolivian authorities—representatives of four state governments and authorities of the central government—the Secretary General said that “there must be a period of dialogue and political and serene talks about the constitutional reform. It is necessary that everybody calm down. I don’t see situations that are irreversible or that are necessarily conducive to a conflict. And I believe that the people of Bolivia and their leaders have the sufficient maturity to overcome this moment. Eventually, if we can be of any assistance, we will help.”
The vice-ministers also expressed their interest in that the OAS investigates the events that recently took place in the city of Sucre. For this purpose, they suggested the intervention of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). The OAS Permanent Council will debate the Bolivian situation during its next session on Friday, December 7.
