OAS Secretary General Mourns Passing of Robert Pastor
January 10, 2014
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today expressed his deep sadness upon the passing of former advisor to United States President Jimmy Carter, senior fellow at the Carter Center and Professor at American University Dr. Robert A. Pastor, whom he recognized as an outstanding scholar, a brilliant leader and a great man.
"He had a profoundly brilliant and curious mind," said Secretary General Insulza. "He was always insightful, informed, intelligent and well-intentioned. The Hemisphere has lost a great champion," he added.
Reflecting on Dr. Pastor's life and experiences, the Secretary General said, "I came to know Bob many years ago as an extremely insightful academic and an effective practitioner who played key roles in shaping the future of the Americas in years of great transformation. He devoted his life to promoting noble and important causes such as advancing democracy and human rights throughout the Western Hemisphere.¨
Secretary General Insulza added that "In particular, his tenure as the Director of the Office of Latin American and Caribbean Affairs at the National Security Council during the Carter administration placed these causes as the cornerstones for US policy in the region. This was an unprecedented approach that came at a critical time when many governments in the Hemisphere were struggling with these issues."
Insulza also recalled the role that Pastor played in the negotiations that culminated in the signing of the Panama Canal Treaties, which he called "a leap forward in US-Latin American relations which owes much to his courage and vision." In his subsequent career, he added, "Dr. Pastor never abandoned his efforts to promote understanding among nations, particularly between the United States and its Latin American and Caribbean neighbors."
Pastor worked closely with the OAS, in particular in relation with its first modern electoral observation missions, beginning in Nicaragua in 1990, as well as the creation of the Unit for the Promotion of Democracy and during various democratic crises during the 1990s.
