The Vice President of Colombia, Francisco Santos, today submitted a donation to the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, of 600,000 dollars for the purpose of strengthening its alliance with the Organization on matters such as “South-South” cooperation, through the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF), and on the protection and promotion of Human Rights, through the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
The Secretary General thanked the Colombian Government for its donation and said it represents the issues “that interest us as an Organization. One of the things that separate the OAS not only in the region but in the world is the existence and strength of its system of human rights, its commission and court, and that is why this donation strengthens our commitment with them.”
“We all know that the resources of international organizations are not enough to cover all social needs, and so public-private participation is fundamental. The PADF is one of the arms of the OAS for all these sorts of things, and it is good to know countries are behind us and that we can broaden the resources of the organization with donations provided by nations and businesses so the foundation may better carry out its work.”
For his part, Vice President Santos said that “it is time to support the OAS and its Secretary General and to strengthen the organizations of the inter-American system that are valuable. Colombia believes in freedom and Human Rights, and this donation is part of the fundamental commitment of the Colombian government and society for social and Human Rights.”
The event, held in the office of the Secretary General at OAS headquarters in Washington, D.C., will be divided into 500,000 dollars for PADF, 50,000 dollars for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and 50,000 dollars for the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
Also present at the ceremony were the Colombian Vice-Minister for Multilateral Affairs, Adriana Mejía; the Executive Secretary of the IACHR, Santiago Cantón; the Permanent Representative of Colombia to the OAS, Ambassador Luis Alfonso Hoyos; and the OAS Secretary for Political Affairs, Víctor Rico.
