The Mexican government contributed $100,000 to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), during a ceremony today at the Organization of American States (OAS). The donation will help finance the OAS agency’s efforts protecting and promoting human rights in the hemisphere.
“The Human Rights Commission must implement specific General Assembly and the Summits mandates it receives from the governments, particularly through their thematic rapporteurs, without whose support this could not be done,” said the Commission’s Chairman, Evelio Fernández Arévalos, accepting the Mexican gift.
“Over the years, Mexico has contributed significant financial support to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, with which it enjoys an excellent working relationship as it expresses support for the work of the IACHR,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Permanent Representative of Mexico to the OAS, Ambassador Alejandro García Moreno Elizondo, noted that his government “is deeply committed to the protection and effective promotion of human rights and fundamental freedoms, and as such considers strengthening and consolidating international human rights measures to be significant.”
The Mexican diplomat reiterated the need to strengthen “our countries’ legal and institutional framework, as well as that of the international system of protection and promotion of human rights.”
This latest grant from Mexico, which is in addition to contributions to the OAS Regular Fund, is earmarked to finance a number of activities, including: the processing of petitions and precautionary measures, onsite and investigative visits to member states, seminars and workshops to promote the system, printing reports and the preparation and presentation of cases to go before the Inter-American Court on Human Rights.
During the ceremony, Commissioner Florentin Melendez, IACHR Rapporteur for Mexico, called on other OAS countries to support the Commission with resources. “It is very important for us that countries such as Mexico always cooperate with the Commission and we reaffirm our nation’s commitment to the inter-American system,” said Melendez. He also praised the Mexican willingness, noting the country has in recent years hosted a joint visit by the IACR and the Inter-American Court.
