SEMINAR PROMOTES HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE IN LATIN AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN
September 3, 2004
A seminar that opens in Montevideo, Uruguay, on September 9, will put the spotlight on humanitarian aid in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Regional Seminar for the Promotion of Volunteering for Humanitarian Assistance in Latin America and the Caribbean is sponsored jointly by the Organisation of American States(OAS) through the Inter-American Agency for Cooperation and Development (IACD), theInter-American Development Bank (IDB)and the White Helmets Commission of Argentina, with the support of Uruguay’s Foreign Affairs Ministry.
The two-day seminar will explore a variety of regional volunteering initiatives. It is an initiative of Argentina’s White Helmets Commission and is being conducted under the purview of a Program the Commission undertakes with the IDB and the OAS.
In recent years, the General Assembly has passed a number of resolutions supporting a hemispheric White Helmets Initiative, to foster the pooling of volunteer efforts by member countries.
While the hemisphere’s nations have mechanisms in place to address problems internally, the White Helmets Initiative is intended to consolidate a regional volunteer body—bringing together various actors from the countries of the Americas to handle appeals from international organizations to combat hunger and poverty, handle emergencies, and prevent crises and conflicts.
Speakers slated for the seminar’s opening session include Foreign Minister Didier Opertti of Uruguay; Chairman of the MERCOSUR Commission of Permanent Representatives, Eduardo Duhalde; Undersecretary for American-MERCOSUR Economic Integration in Argentina’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, Eduardo Sigal; Chairman of Argentina’s White Helmets Commission, Gabriel Fuks; Director of IACD/OAS Development Programs, Sheila Donovan; IDB Representative in Uruguay, Martín Stábile; and OAS Director in Montevideo, Roberto Casañas.
Argentina is a pioneer in the White Helmets Initiative and was recently joined by Uruguay, which has the “Manos Solidarias” program. Other programs will be discussed at the seminar that is being held at the MERCOSUR Headquarters.
