OAS PERMANENT COUNCIL GIVES BOLIVIA’S CONSTITUTIONAL
GOVERNMENT OF PRESIDENT SANCHEZ DE LOZADA FULL BACKING
February 14, 2003
Expressing its “full and decisive support for the constitutional government of the President of the Republic of Bolivia, Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, and for the democratic institutions,” the Organization of American States’ (OAS) Permanent Council today adopted a resolution condemning the use of violence and other undemocratic acts that disrupt democracy and good governance in Bolivia.
After a presentation by the Bolivian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carlos Saavedra Bruno, on political and social developments affecting his country and its constitutional government, the OAS Permanent Council expressed deep regret at the irreparable loss of life that occurred, and urged all segments of society in Bolivia to strengthen channels of dialogue and tolerance and to refrain from promoting political violence.
The resolution goes on to reaffirm that “the constitutional subordination of all state institutions to the legally established civilian authority and respect for the rule of law by all institutions and sectors of society are fundamental components of democracy.”
In the resolution, the Permanent Council underscored “the firm resolve of the member states to apply the mechanisms provided in the Inter-American Democratic Charter for preserving democracy,” stressing as well that “the promotion and observance of economic, social and cultural rights is inherent to integral development, economic growth with equity, and the strengthening of democracy in the states of the Hemisphere.”
In addition, the OAS’ second highest decision-making body decided to support the efforts carried out by the international financial institutions with the constitutional government of Bolivia to reach agreements that will promote social and financial stability in that country.
Referring to the events of this past February 12, Foreign Minister Saavedra told the Permanent Council that his country’s democratic system "has been dealt a severe blow.” He also expressed concern that the situation could worsen over the next few days, as “those social sectors that will want to demand a raise have not yet taken o the streets.”
Asserting that “democracy in my country is under enormous threat and things are extremely unstable,” the Bolivian Foreign Minister thanked the OAS member states for all the support and solidarity they have expressed.
