PERU’S NEW ENVOY UPDATES OAS ON THE
GROWING DEMOCRACY IN HIS COUNTRY
March 31, 2004
Peru’s new Ambassador, Alberto Alfonso Borea Odría, has told the Organization of American States (OAS) that his country’s “recent painful history” was the most eloquent example of how timely and unequivocal action by the OAS “can spare our peoples deep suffering.”
Addressing the Permanent Council on March 31 for the first time as Permanent Representative—shortly after presenting credentials to Secretary General César Gaviria—Ambassador Borea noted that OAS action, driven by principles and not by interests, can also “strengthen democratic institutions that are indispensable to our coexistence as civilized nations.”
He outlined Peru’s progress in combating corruption and impunity, and warned that “to tamper with institutions in order to concentrate power can only lead to more corruption.” He added: “What we need today is the strength of a united hemisphere.”
Citing public disenchantment with the impunity enjoyed by corrupt and dishonest leaders, he asked the hemisphere for its “unequivocal support” to combat the problem. He also reported that his government had recently provided the OAS with the findings of the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission, underscoring the government’s “legitimate measures to protect the society” from terrorism.
Canada’s Ambassador Paul Durand chaired the Permanent Council session, where the member state representatives all welcomed the new Peruvian envoy.
In presenting credentials earlier in the day, Ambassador Borea Odría pledged he would do his utmost to advance the interest of his government as well the interest of the Americas at large.
