OAS Assistant Secretary General Calls for Stronger Civil Society Engagement at Peace and Security Conference
May 4, 2015
The Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert Ramdin urged stronger civil society engagement to strengthen efforts toward peace and security, not just in the Americas, but around the world, in his remarks to the II International Conference on Strengthening Peace and Security Cooperation towards Democracy and Development, which took place in Vienna, Austria, last week.
Ambassador Ramdin emphasized that “a more inclusive model of governance that promotes closer interaction and discussion among regional organizations and civil society entities is a pressing need, especially in the context of the increasing peace and security challenges around the world.”
“Creating peace and stability is a collective, shared responsibility,” said the Assistant Secretary General, speaking to an audience made up of government and civil society representatives and international stakeholders. “While it is indeed an ambitious task, it can be achieved if there is a more deliberate and concerted effort toward inclusion,” added Ramdin.
The meeting in Vienna was the result of a long-standing partnership between the OAS, the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) and the United Nations designed to promote the role of civil society in the prevention and resolution of conflict.
The Conference took place ahead of this week’s UN High-Level Thematic Debate on Strengthening Cooperation between the United Nations and Regional and Sub-Regional Organizations. The results of the meeting will feed into the discussions on the implementation of the Post 2015 Development agenda.
The meeting was co-hosted by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, (OSCE), the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance – International IDEA, the OAS and the United Nations University Institute on Comparative Regional Integration Studies (UNU-CRIS).
