OAS Secretary General Condemns Massacre of Guatemalan Field Workers
May 24, 2011
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, has strongly condemned the killings of 27 field workers whose bodies were found in a ranch in Petén, Guatemala, last May 15. “This horrible crime is new evidence of the barbarity of criminal gangs that operate in the Central American region and are linked to drug trafficking, arms trafficking, kidnapping and human trafficking,” Insulza said.
Referring to the magnitude of the violence perpetrated by criminal groups, he warned that “their brutal actions are spread throughout the whole continent, and I hope we have sufficient energy to fight it collectively, because our democratic development depends on it.”
The OAS General Assembly to be held in San Salvador from June 5 to 7 has as its central theme that of “Citizen Security in the Americas,” so that at the center of the meeting will be a debate about how this phenomenon affects the region and the entire world. In this sense, Secretary General Insulza remarked that concrete cooperation measures will have to be adopted at the meeting to strengthen the fight against crime in the hemisphere, and he also ensured the participation of the Organization in the International Conference in Support of the Central American Security Strategy, to be held in Guatemala from June 22 to 24.
“I hope that the memory of these innocent victims will motivate us to act with the necessary speed and strength to face this grave threat,” he concluded.
