With those instruments deposited, El Salvador became the 14th Member State to ratify the OAS treaty that was adopted at the General Assembly held in Managua, Nicaragua, in June 1993.

For his part, Secretary General Insulza thanked El Salvador for ratifying the treaty and depositing the instruments, adding that through this treaty, Member States seek to improve the administration of justice as well as a more complete rehabilitation. He said that beyond being an efficient cooperation mechanism, the Inter-American Convention on Serving Criminal Sentences Abroad, as an instrument, “is fully in keeping with security and protection objectives while also improving human rights in our countries.”
According to Secretary General Insulza, the move by El Salvador could also serve to motivate other countries that have not yet done so to ratify the hemispheric treaty.
Following the ceremony, which was held at OAS headquarters, the Salvadorian diplomat updated the Secretary General on a series of bilateral cooperation agreements that her government had signed with neighboring countries, on a variety of subjects.
