The Department of International Law, in accordance with resolution AG/RES. 2852 (XLIV-O/14), submitted an implementation report on the Inter-American Program for the Development of International Law for the 2014-2015 period to the OAS Committee on Juridical and Political Affairs (CAJP) at the headquarters of the Organization on April 30, 2015.
The Inter-American Program
for the Development of International Law was
adopted by the OAS General Assembly in 1997 and
updated in 2011. It is the principal tool on
which the Organization relies to promote and
propagate international law and the
inter-American system, doing so via an array of
specific activities, including training courses,
seminars, educational events, publications, and
dissemination of inter-American treaties over
the Internet, among others.
Under the Program, the
Department of International Law bears chief
responsibility for its implementation in the
framework of the General Secretariat. It is
worth recalling that Article 3 of the Charter of
the Organization of American States provides
that international law is the standard of
conduct of States in their reciprocal relations;
hence the great importance that the political
organs of the Organization have attributed to
the Program over the years.
At the end of the
presentation, several delegations expressed
their support for the Program and the work of
the Department of International Law.
