CP/RES. 949 (1688/09)
XX PAN AMERICAN CHILD CONGRESS
(Adopted at the meeting of April 21, 2009)
THE PERMANENT COUNCIL OF THE ORGANIZATION OF
AMERICAN STATES,
HAVING seen resolutions CD/RES. 05 (82-R/07) and CD/RES. 07 (83-R/08),
approved by the Directing Council of the Inter-American Children’s
Institute (IIN);
CONSIDERING:
That Article 19 of the IIN Statute establishes that the Pan American
Child Congress is an inter-American ministerial meeting that has the
purpose of promoting the exchange of experience and knowledge among the
peoples of the Americas on the issues within the competence of the
Institute and of proposing the relevant recommendations; and
That Article 22 of the Statute provides that the Congresses may act as
Inter-American Specialized Conferences;
RECALLING that Article 74 of the Charter of the Organization of American
States provides that “[e]ach Council may, in urgent cases, convoke
Specialized Conferences on matters within its competence, after
consulting with the Member States and without having to resort to the
procedure provided for in Article 122”; and
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT:
That the Government of Peru offered to host the XX Pan American Child
Congress, to be held in 2009;
That the designation of the Pan American Child Congress as an
Inter-American Specialized Conference will raise even further the
political and technical profile of the meeting and will, consequently,
lend additional weight to the political guidelines and agreements it
adopts and thereby redound to the benefit of the children in the
countries of the Hemisphere;
RESOLVES:
1. To declare the XX Pan American Child Congress an Inter-American
Specialized Conference.
2. To thank the Government of Peru for offering to host the XX Pan
American Child Congress, to be held from September 23 to 25, 2009, in
Lima, Peru.
3. To instruct the General Secretariat to carry out the activities
referred to in this resolution within the program-budget of the
Organization and other resources.
