A high level mission of the Organization of American States (OAS) will travel to Ecuador today. The OAS Permanent Council last Friday approved Resolution 880, encouraging “all political, social, and economic sectors in Ecuador to strengthen governance and ensure full respect for democratic order, the constitutional framework, and the rule of law, through dialogue and constructive participation.”
The mission – made up of the Chair of the Permanent Council, Ambassador Alberto Borea of Peru; the OAS Acting Secretary General, Ambassador Luigi R. Einaudi; and representatives of sub-regional groups – will hold a series of meetings in order “to work with officials of that country and with all sectors of Ecuadorian society in their effort to strengthen democracy,” as the Permanent Council resolved.
The Ambassadors to the OAS who will participate in the visit are: Esteban Tomic, of Chile; Bayney Karran, Guyana; Salvador Rodezno, Honduras; Jorge Chen, Mexico; and Jorge Valero, Venezuela. The Alternate Representative of the United States to the OAS, Timothy Dunn, and Canada’s Ambassador to Ecuador, Brian Oak, will also participate.
The diplomatic mission will meet with representatives of the government and political parties, as well as with representatives of the private sector, nongovernmental organizations, the Catholic Church, unions, indigenous groups and others.
“This visit will seek to gather the points of view of different sectors, so that the conclusions of the mission can help to strengthen the efforts of the Ecuadorian people and authorities in building a strengthened democracy through dialogue, Ambassador Einaudi said.
It is expected that the mission, which will return to Washington on Saturday, will report to the Permanent Council sometime next week.
The decision to send the mission was made in accordance with Article 18 of the Inter-American Democratic Charter and in keeping with an invitation issued by a delegation of Ecuador during a special session of the Permanent Council dedicated to Ecuador. The resolution adopted by consensus also refers to the OAS Charter, noting that one of the Organization’s essential purposes is “to promote and consolidate representative democracy, with due respect for the principle of nonintervention.”
