Menéndez is a lawyer with two specializations and more than 20 years experience in the Organization of American States in the fields of democratic governance, conflict resolution and capacity building in countries like Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru, Venezuela, and Central America in general.
Menéndez has also been the Regional Coordinator of the Central American Program for the Strengthening of Democratic Dialogue of the OAS, Assistant General Coordinator of the Culture of Dialogue Program in Guatemala and Chief Operating Officer of the International Commission for Support and Verification (CIAV/OAS) peace mission that the OAS implemented in Nicaragua in the 1990s.

The OAS Mission to Support the Peace Process in Colombia was established in 2004 with the aim of supporting the peace process, the verification and monitoring of the government's peace policy and the accompaniment of communities that have been victims of violence. Through the MAPP, the OAS has supported local initiatives in areas of conflict with specific measures, actions and projects aimed at reducing violence, building trust, promoting reconciliation and strengthening democracy.
