The Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) today commemorated World Press Freedom Day during its regular session at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC, where a minute of silence was observed to pay tribute to the journalists who have lost their lives in the exercise of their duties.
On this occasion, the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), Catalina Botero, highlighted the most important achievements of freedom of the press in the region and the challenges that states of the Americas must address.
“We have come out of military dictatorships and that is no minor achievement. We have solved the majority of armed conflicts and that is no minor achievement either in matters of freedom of expression. All of the State Constitutions of the countries here represented recognize freedom of expression and recognize it in a universal way without discrimination," she declared.
Among other challenges, Botero mentioned violence against journalists and the impunity of those crimes; criminalization of dissidence; the use of indirect means to silence dissident opinion; and a lack of pluralism and diversity in the communications process.
Following the interventions of several permanent representatives, OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza said this was one of the subjects that ought to be discussed in more depth by member countries. The OAS Permanent Council's regular session was held today in the Simón Bolívar Hall of OAS headquarters in Washington, DC.
