VENEZUELA RATIFIES TREATY ON TRANSPARENCY IN CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS ACQUISITIONS
April 27, 2005
VENEZUELA RATIFIES TREATY
ON TRANSPARENCY IN CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS ACQUISITIONS
Venezuela today became the tenth country of the Organization of American States (OAS) to ratify the Inter-American Convention on Transparency in Conventional Weapons Acquisitions, an international treaty that promotes confidence-building measures among its member states.
Ambassador Nelson Pineda, Venezuela’s Alternate Representative to the OAS, formally deposited the ratification instruments with Brian Stevenson, who heads the OAS Executive Secretariat for Integral Development and who is in charge of the Organization while the Secretary General is traveling.
Pineda said that ratification of this treaty underscores his government’s commitment to advancing peaceful coexistence in the hemisphere. “Achieving a transparent process for acquiring the conventional weapons required by our governments, authorities, armed forces and police constitutes a very important element to guarantee this coexistence.”
Stevenson said that under the terms of the treaty, the states parties report annually on their imports and exports and also notify the OAS of their weapons acquisitions. “Sharing this type of information constitutes a very significant step in increasing transparency and mutual trust among our member states,” he said.
The other countries that have ratified the treaty, which was adopted in Guatemala City in 1999, are Argentina, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.
