Civil registry authorities of the member countries of the Organization of American States (OAS) and international experts on the subject met today at the OAS to analyze the progress and future steps to advance the commitment to improve access to civil identity in the Americas and achieve goal 16.9 of the Sustainable Development Agenda to achieve universal birth registration by 2030.
A central part of the meeting, held in the framework of the Committee on Juridical and Political Affairs, was the presentation of the progress report 2010-2018 of the Universal Civil Registry Program in the Americas (PUICA) of the OAS, which highlights important advances, including:
· The preparation of a Model legislation for civil registries in Latin America
· The installation of 44 subsidiary civil registry offices in public hospitals in El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras and Paraguay.
· The reconstruction and/or replacement of 49,712 acts of vital events destroyed during the internal conflicts of Guatemala and Peru.
· Vital statistics database of the National Archives of Haiti developed and 16,096,593 vital statistics records uploaded.
· The digitization and cataloging of 2.5 million vital statistics records in Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Dominica, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
· The training of 2,500 civil registry officials in Latin America with knowledge of the right to identity, its benefits and vital statistics registration and identification processes.
According to the report, "support under the Program from the OAS for member states has helped reduce birth under-registration of children under age five in Latin America and the Caribbean from 11% in 2008 to 5% in 2018" and today more and better data from the region is also available, making it possible to obtain a clearer profile of those who still lack identification.
The meeting featured presentations by specialists from the Office for the Americas of the Regional Legal Unit of the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Inter-American Development Bank and UNICEF, and served as a platform for the exchange of national experiences on civil identity.
