Presenting credentials as Guatemala’s new Permanent Representative to the Organization of American States (OAS), Ambassador Víctor Hugo Godoy Morales said Wednesday that the hemispheric body “must play an important role as the Hemisphere is in a state of flux.”
A former Labor and Social Security Minister, Ambassador Godoy Morales presented his letters of accreditation to OAS Assistant Secretary General Luigi Einaudi, recalling the late 1980s as a period that saw democracy take root in practically all the countries of the Americas after military regimes that have left some still struggling with the bitter aftertaste.
He also drew attention to fragile new democracies “that have suffered from the unraveling of the social fabric in our countries,” and observed that the OAS has played an important role in consolidating these fledgling democratic processes through awareness and training and by strengthening democratic systems.
Welcoming the new Ambassador, the Assistant Secretary General noted that he had come “at a time that many nations of the Hemisphere are not having it easy.” Ambassador Einaudi told the Guatemalan diplomat: “Your words leave me very confident you will in fact rise to the extraordinary challenges facing not only your country Guatemala but all the other countries as well.”
Godoy Morales succeeds Ambassador Arturo Duarte, whom the OAS Permanent Council accorded an emotional farewell as delegates praised “his tireless efforts leading the debates in the Permanent Council and in the Committee on Juridical and Political Affairs.”
Ambassador Godoy Morales will serve the rest of Guatemala’s term in the Permanent Council Chair, which ends March 31.
