Chile Signed at the OAS Conventions Against Discrimination and Racism
October 22, 2015
The government of Chile signed today at the headquarters of the Organization of American States (OAS) the Inter-American Convention Against Racism, Racial Discrimination and Related Forms of Intolerance and the Inter-American Convention Against all Forms of Discrimination and Intolerance.
The Permanent Representative of Chile to the OAS, Juan Pablo Lira, said the decision to sign both instruments "reflects the commitment of the government of President Michele Bachelet to move toward a more just and inclusive society, while sending a strong signal of support for the Inter-American System of Human Rights, in which Chile is an active member."
The Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro, who signed as a witness, recalled that the entry into force of each of these legally binding instruments requires that at least two states ratify them. "Until today, no state has done so, therefore, I take this opportunity to invite the signatories to follow up on their commitments and proceed with ratification. In the same way, I urge all member states to proceed with the signature, ratification and accession, as appropriate, in order to implement them in the near future," said the OAS leader.
