Honduras to Chair the OAS Special Committee on Migration Issues
August 2, 2011
The Permanent Representative of Honduras to the Organization of American States (OAS), Ambassador Jorge Ramón Hernández Alcerro, was elected today by acclamation to chair the Special Committee on Migration Issues (CEAM) of the Organization’s Permanent Council.
In a regular meeting of the Permanent Council, Ambassador Hernández Alcerro, his country’s representative to the OAS since June 1st of this year, said the issue of migration is “a particularly important issue to Honduras” and also “an issue in which I am personally very interested.”
As a Congressman in the National Congress of Honduras, Hernández Alcerro recalled, he presented a draft bill for the protection of the rights of Honduran migrants and their families, currently under consideration. “I think this is one of the most social, most important, most relevant phenomena of our time in our continent,” he added.
At the same meeting, the representatives of the Member States of the OAS expressed their condolences for the death of former president of Costa Rica Mario Echandi Jiménez, and observed a minute of silence.
The Chair of the Permanent Council and Representative of Guatemala to the OAS, Ambassador Jorge Skinner-Klee, quoted Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla, who asserted that Echandi Jiménez, President between 1958 and 1962, “was a democrat passionate about his ideas, and defended his convictions with his energetic personality and his tireless capacity for work. But his greatest gift, beyond the vicissitudes of politics and the public tasks he had the honor of sharing with his people, was to make his life a permanent example of honesty and transparency.”
