OAS to Provide Technical Assistance to the Dominican Republic for Reformation of Electoral Law
January 24, 2011
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, and the Chair of the Central Electoral Board (JCE) of the Dominican Republic, Roberto Rosario Márquez, today signed an agreement so the organization may provide technical support in reforming the Caribbean country’s Electoral Law.
The agreement establishes a regulatory framework for conducting Electoral Technical Cooperation activities involving the hemispheric organization and regarding its support to the JCE in preparing a draft of a bill to reform current Dominican electoral law.
The final document to come from the project must be adapted to current times, to the new organizational framework of the JCE, to the electoral system, and to the dispositions being contemplated in the constitutional norms recently adopted in the Dominican Republic, according to the terms of the agreement.
During a signing ceremony, the Secretary General recalled that the OAS “has a long history of cooperation with the Dominican Republic on electoral matters. To date we have observed fourteen electoral processes in this country." Furthermore, he asserted that the Organization will provide "all the cooperation requested from us to prepare the project to reform the current law and to meet the challenges of the upcoming elections.” He also thanked the JCE for “calling us to cooperate on the strengthening of the electoral system.”
For his part, the President of the JCE thanked the "support, cooperation and assistance provided by the OAS so we may be able to continue to strengthen policy development in the Dominican Republic and to be able to continue contributing to a more transparent democratic process.”
The signing ceremony was held in the office of Secretary General in Washington, DC, and was also attended by the Assistant Secretary General of the OAS, Albert R. Ramdin; the Chair of the Permanent Council and Permanent Representative of the United States, Carmen Lomellin, and the Permanent Representatives of the Bahamas, Belize, Paraguay, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay.
