The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today gave a lecture on the role of the organization in the process of strengthening of the Inter-American System of Human Rights, as part of the 30th Interdisciplinary Course on Human Rights, in San José, Costa Rica.
Secretary Insulza, who is in the country to take part in the events to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Peace Plan for Central America, highlighted the importance of the event for its vision “not just of the history of the Inter-American System of Human Rights, but also of its perspectives for the future.” The system, he emphasized, “has been enshrined as a reference point for states in terms of public policy making on human rights.”
The chief representative of the hemispheric organization will take part in the celebrations of the 25th Anniversary of the Peace Plan which will take place this evening in the National Theater in San José, together with the President of Costa Rica, Laura Chinchilla, the former President of Costa Rica and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Oscar Arias, and the Foreign Minister of Costa Rica, Enrique Castillo.
