OAS TO HOLD MEETINGS ON TERRORISM AND DISABILITY ISSUES
THIS WEEK IN PANAMA
February 26, 2007
The Panamanian government will host two parallel meetings of the Organization of American States (OAS) this week in Panama City, one on hemispheric anti-terrorism efforts and the other on the protection of people with disabilities. OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza will open both events.
The OAS Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE) will hold its seventh period of sessions from February 28 to March 2; meanwhile, the Committee for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities will meet for the first time from February 28 to March 1.
CICTE will assess progress in combating terrorism in the countries of the region and examine strategies to strengthen cooperation. The meeting will bring together high-level government officials from around the Americas, whose discussions will focus on “Critical Infrastructure Protection in the Hemisphere in the Face of Terrorism.” Representatives from OAS member states will also discuss policies, regulations and hemispheric cooperation from their respective national points of view.
Panama’s Vice President and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Lewis Navarro, and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ricardo Durán Jaeger, are scheduled to speak at the opening ceremony. CICTE Chair and Permanent Representative of Colombia to the OAS, Ambassador Camilo Ospina, will also deliver opening remarks.
The First Meeting of the Committee for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities will follow up on the commitments assumed in the international treaty on this issue, which seeks to prevent discrimination against people with disabilities and facilitate their full incorporation into society through legislative, social, educational and labor-related measures.
The Committee—made up of representatives named by each state party to the Inter-American Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities—will examine the progress achieved since its adoption of this treaty in 1999. The experts will also consider a Draft Rule of Procedures as well as the methodology for analyzing the first reports on this issue and the Committee’s work calendar.
