OAS and Buenos Aires Agree to Cooperate on Legal Affairs
August 30, 2011
The Organization of American States (OAS), through its Department of International Law, and the Council of the Judiciary of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires today signed a cooperation agreement for the development and implementation of legal cooperation projects.
The agreement signed sets the guidelines for facilitating collaboration, the exchange of information and joint work between the two institutions. In particular, it states a commitment to promote and spread access to international human rights and the inter-American system; promote cooperation for developing and implementing training projects for officials in the judiciary power; as well as providing advice, joint work and preparation of legislative texts, model laws and guides, among others.
During the signing ceremony held at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC, the Organization’s Secretary for Legal Affairs, Jean Michel Arrighi, said this new cooperation agreement will complement those that already exist between the OAS and the executive powers, the ministries, Argentine universities, and other isntitutions. “It is very important to have direct contact and agreements with the magistrates because it opens up for us a new field of cooperation. To fulfill all of this will allow us to have a very interesting experience,” he said.
The Councilor of the Judiciary of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Daniel Arturo Fábregas, for his part, said the Council of the Judiciary seeks “to sign this agreement with a view to have a more fluid relationship with the OAS in areas of justice, in terms of academic cooperation as much as in the development of judicial policies or access to justice.”
