The OAS General Assembly established the status of Permanent
Observer in April 1971 through resolution AG/RES. 50 (I-O/71) with a view to
provide a way for non-OAS Member States to follow OAS activities, attend the
meetings of the Organization’s political organs and provide cooperation for its
development programs. The following year, the Permanent Council established the
criteria and procedures for granting Permanent Observer status to a non-OAS
Member State through resolution CP/RES. 52 (61/72), which were later revised in
1984 with resolution CP/RES. 407 (573/84).
Permanent Observers attend the public meetings of the General
Assembly and the Permanent Council and of their principal committees and, when
invited by the corresponding presiding officer, the closed meetings of those
bodies. They also receive the documents and publications of the Organization and
are invited to attend specialized conferences and other meetings convoked by the
OAS. The Permanent Observers provide cooperation, in the form of training
opportunities, expert services, equipment, and cash contributions for various
OAS programs.
The following resolutions outline the criteria and procedures
established by the OAS bodies for granting Permanent Observer status to a
non-OAS Member State.
