NICARAGUA’S RATIFICATION PAVES WAY FOR
OAS ANTI-TERRORISM TREATY TO ENTER INTO FORCE
June 10, 2003
Nicaragua’s ratification, deposited with the Organization of American States (OAS) today, has paved the way for the Inter-American Convention against Terrorism to enter into force in thirty days.
The Central American country became the sixth OAS member to ratify the treaty that was adopted at the General Assembly in June last year.
Depositing the ratification instruments during the OAS General Assembly, which ends today in the Chilean capital, Nicaragua’s Foreign Affairs Minister Norman Caldera said “the anti-terrorism treaty’s impending entry into force shows the OAS can adapt to the times, rather than be stymied or seeking refuge in the past.”
Caldera added: “The Hemisphere now has an instrument with which to rid itself one of the worst scourges of our time—the threat from terrorism.” He said Central America was working together as a united, peaceful and democratic region to tackle terrorism. “And we have one single regional plan that allows us to do that.”
Secretary General César Gaviria argued that the Organization has undertaken not only to uphold principles but also to expeditiously implement existing mechanisms. He observed that “no region has moved as swiftly as we have in the Americas to confront terrorism together.”
The aim of the Inter-American Convention against Terrorism is to prevent, punish and eliminate terrorism, with the states parties undertaking to adopt the necessary measures to bolster cooperation among themselves.
Thirty-three OAS member countries have signed this treaty, with Nicaragua now joining Antigua and Barbuda, Canada, El Salvador, Mexico and Peru as states that have ratified.
