OAS EXPRESSES FULL SUPPORT FOR CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT OF BELIZE
April 27, 2005
In a resolution adopted by consensus today, the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States expressed its “full and decisive support for the constitutional government of Belize, led by Prime Minister Said W. Musa, and for the democratic institutions in Belize.”
The Ambassador of Belize, Lisa Shoman, detailed the political and social developments affecting her country and its constitutional government, including the interruption of electricity and telecommunication services, resulting in millions of dollars in economic losses to both the public and private sectors.
Following that presentation, the Council stressed its “categoric rejection” of any action that disrupts the democratic order, and condemned the use of violence and “any actions that threaten democracy, governance and the rule of law in Belize.” The Council’s resolution further reaffirmed, as essential elements of democracy, the principle of “the constitutional subordination of all state institutions to the legally constituted civilian authority” as well as respect for the constitution and the rule of law by all institutions and sectors of society.
Ambassador Shoman informed the Council that “there is a clear, serious and mounting threat to democracy in Belize.” She explained the unfolding of events since April 14, marked by protest against the government. “The protest has evolved into acts of public disorder and of sabotage directed at essential services in Belize, resulting in the interruption of international and local telecommunications, electricity and water”, said Shoman.
The resolution supported the call for a national dialogue in Belize to strengthen the democratic institutions and foster the economic and social development of the Belizean people. It called on all sectors of Belizean society to engage in that dialogue.
The coordinators for the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Central American, and Latin American Integration Association (ALADI) groupings in the OAS, as well as other member state representatives, joined the Permanent Council’s Vice-Chair, Ambassador Rodolfo Gil of Argentina, in reiterating their full support for democratic order and for the rule of law to be upheld in Belize.
