SPAIN SIGNS COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH OAS HUMAN RIGHTS COURT
November 6, 2006
Human rights promotion in the Americas received an important boost today, in the form of a cooperation agreement the government of Spain signed with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. “This, we feel, is a historic move that expands the horizons for inter-American human rights protections,” said Sergio García Ramírez, President of the Inter-American Court, an arm of the Organization of American States (OAS).
The cooperation to be provided under the terms of the memorandum of understanding—signed between the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and the Inter-American Court, during a ceremony at OAS headquarters—not only entails financial contributions, important as they are, “but will also facilitate collaboration and constant interaction between the Spanish Administration and the Court,” said Ambassador Juan Romero de Terreros, Permanent Observer of Spain to the OAS.
According to the Spanish diplomat, the agreement will enable cooperation in training and in dissemination of information on the Court’s work. Ambassador Romero de Terreros said the collaboration will also enhance the Court’s efforts to “become a permanently active and effective institution.”
The Costa Rica-based Human Rights Court will receive an initial contribution of some $190,000 from the Spanish Cooperation Agency.
Romero de Terreros said during the ceremony in Washington that the Spanish government wanted to sign the agreement as a “genuine tribute to the work of the Court and to those who work on its behalf.” He also noted that the memorandum of understanding was aimed at elevating the role of the Court as the last resort in defending and promoting human rights throughout the Americas.
Expressing appreciation for the Spanish government’s show of solidarity, the President of the Court said the agreement “establishes another constructive link between the Organization of American States and the Spanish state.” Ramírez said, “We salute and appreciate the Spanish government’s very positive disposition towards the inter-American system’s jurisdiction. This helps to improve conditions under which that system operates.”
