Insulza: Rio Group Played a Key Role in Democracy’s Recovery in the Region
March 2, 2007
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today underscored the important role the Rio Group has in Latin America, noting in particular the part it played in the 1980s, when Central and South America were showing the first signs of democratic recovery.
Insulza, who is attending the Rio Group meeting in Guyana as an observer, said he expected to talk about the vision and work of the OAS, which between 2005 and 2006 carried out a major electoral observation effort in 13 countries of the region that held completely normal democratic elections.
The Rio Group grew out of the Contadora Group, in the context of the Central American crisis, Insulza recalled; later, with the democratization of the Southern Cone, it expanded to include all the Latin American countries and one Caribbean representative, in this case Guyana. The Secretary General noted that the Rio Group, which begins its nineteenth meeting today in Georgetown, has continued over the years to provide a forum for dialogue and the search for agreements to deepen democracy in the hemisphere.
Issues that will be discussed in Georgetown, Insulza said, include the region’s electoral processes, successful efforts to overcome crises and the economic panorama. Despite economic growth in the region, questions remain about how to maintain progress in overcoming poverty and how to meet the challenges of inequality while following the democratic rules of the game.
Insulza was welcomed this afternoon by the President of Guyana, Bharrat Jagdeo, with whom he discussed the situation in the Caribbean region. Specific issues included economic development, security, natural disasters and preparations for the Cricket World Cup, which this year will take place for the first time in this region.
