MEXICAN GOVERNMENT PRESENTED IDENTITY CARD PROJECT TO THE OAS SECRETARY GENERAL
September 15, 2009
The Deputy Secretary of Population, Migration and Religious Affairs of the Government of Mexico, Mr. Alejandro Poiré, on Tuesday presented a project to the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Mr. José Miguel Insulza, to create an Identity Card for Citizens that will guarantee legal and judicial identity to every citizen of the country.
The Deputy Secretary highlighted the role played by the OAS in developing the project. “We have worked very closely with the OAS, learning from the different experiences in different countries in the Hemisphere. The OAS has been a truly productive forum,” he said.
The representative of the Mexican Government also expressed his hope that the plan will in addition help other countries in the region. “The OAS is a multilateral forum where we will be able to work to inform others of our progress, and where we can start finding standards of identification that would allow us to guarantee the exercise of the right to identity not just within one country, but also in a wider regional context,” he added.
The Identity Card, which will contain the biometric data of every Mexican citizen, “will guarantee that every person has an efficient mechanism to exercise his or her right to be identified as herself or himself before government agencies or other institutions such as health services, the justice system or Human Rights protection,” Poiré said.
The OAS Secretary General congratulated the Mexican government on the launching of “a very positive initiative for all persons to be able to exercise their civil rights accordingly, especially those with little resources.”
Secretary General Insulza also expressed his satisfaction with the role played by the OAS as the means of communication of other experiences in the continent to enrich, as much as possible, the Mexican project. “The plan goes along the same direction as all projects of civil identity that we are undertaking in the Americas, and we hope it represents a boost to similar initiatives in other countries,” he said.
