OAS PERMANENT COUNCIL TO DISCUSS IMMIGRATION LAW
PASSED BY EUROPEAN UNION
June 23, 2008
Due to the situation generated by the approval of the immigration law by the European Union on June 18, 2008, the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) has deemed necessary to include this topic in the agenda of the Permanent Council that will convene tomorrow, June 24, 2008. This body of the OAS will be the one to make a decision regarding the most appropriate course of action to organize a meeting where this serious topic will be addressed.
In the past few days, several countries of the region have voiced their concerns and complaints to the General Secretariat. Nine Latin American countries have already stated their rejection to the European Union regulation.
Secretary General Insulza has stated that “it is a paradox that while they [the European Union] negotiate important agreements in trade matters and they speak of strategic alliances, they adopt in a unilateral manner measures like prolonged detention, which treat illegal immigrants like criminals, without even discussing or negotiating the subject with Latin American governments.”
