AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE OAS AND THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF NUEVO LEON WILL FORTIFY HORIZONTAL COOPERATION IN ELECTORAL MATTERS
July 25, 2008
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, signed an electoral cooperation agreement with the State Electoral Commission of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, highlighting its importance in helping the continental organization attend to requests from its Member States in electoral matters.
“The goal of this agreement is to establish cooperative ties in order to promote horizontal cooperation toward other Member States,” Insulza said, after signing the documents together with Eduardo Guerra Sepulveda, Commissioner and President of the State Electoral Commission of Nuevo Leon, in a ceremony celebrated on Thursday at the seat of the OAS in Washington, DC.
The Secretary General stated that the cooperation of the Commission acquires even more importance when one considers the number of electoral processes observed by the OAS. Electoral processes have seen a great progress, Insulza said while referring to electoral observation as the only activity of the OAS enshrined in the Inter-American Democratic Charter.
For the Secretary General, the agreement between the OAS and the Electoral Commission of Nuevo Leon is also important in promoting the citizens’ trust in their institutions. “Because of this, we are interested in the topic of quality control—in helping countries conduct their elections in a much better way,” he explained, citing surveys that indicate that a large number of citizens in the Americas do not trust elections.
For his part, Commissioner Sepulveda underscored that “we feel honored to be able to contribute to the improvement of electoral processes,” in view of the great challenge that countries face in their effort to better the quality of electoral processes and make them more transparent. Part of the importance of this contribution is to allow citizens to cast their vote “with the assurance that their choice will be respected and that the process is completely free and transparent,” concluded Sepulveda.
