  November 5, 2014

The Organization of American States (OAS) and the Government of Germany today signed a cooperation agreement by which the European country will increase its support for the activities of the Mission to Support the Peace Process in Colombia (MAPP/OAS) with a contribution of 450,000 euros.

This important contribution is just the latest of several made by the German government to the Mission since 2008. These resources will go to support the tasks of monitoring and accompaniment of the Mission to the various peace building programs in Colombia.

The Secretary General of the OAS, José Miguel Insulza, expressed his gratitude for the trust and support of the German government in the Organization and its activities. “With cooperation agreements like this one, the Organization of American States and Germany make an important contribution to the peace process and to the building of an environment favorable to the post-conflict stage, based on the restauration of the social fabric, justice, guarantees of non-repetition, and integral reparations for victims,” added the leader of the hemispheric institution.
