Chair of the Permanent Council, Ambassador Leónidas Rosa Bautista, Celebrates Pan American Day

The Chair of the Permanent Council of the Organization of the American States (OAS) and Permanent Representative of Honduras, Ambassador Leónidas Rosa Bautista, today recalls Pan American Day, which is celebrated on April 14 in commemoration of the First International Conference of American States in 1890.
The International Union of American Republics was created by the First International Conference of American States, which met in Washington between October 2, 1889 and April 14, 1890. In 1910 the International Union of American Republics became the Pan American Union, which in 1930 decided that April 14 would become Pan American Day, which was celebrated for the first time in 1930. In 1948 the Pan American Union became what we know today as the Organization of American States.
In remembrance of this day, Ambassador Leonidas Rosa Bautista called on the Member States to maintain and strengthen the unity that allowed for the creation of the entity that preceded the OAS, which has characterized its relations and upon which the OAS has been established as the principal and oldest multilateral political forum where the vocation for democracy, peaceful conflict resolutions, peace, defense of human rights and cooperation between member states are the pillars which sustain it. The Chair of the Permanent Council expressed his wishes that the inter-American structure based on solidarity and mutual respect continues in the OAS.
The Chair of the Permanent Council also expressed his wishes that the celebration serves as a point for serious reflection in light of the important meeting that the heads of State and Government will held during the Sixth Summit of the Americas and that, despite the differences in a continent that is geographically, demographically, economically and culturally diverse, the Member States continue strengthening dialogue, unity and cooperation in the Americas.
The Permanent Council will hold a protocolary session at the organization’s headquarters to commemorate the day once the Summit of the Americas has concluded in Cartagena, Colombia.
