AMBASSADOR JOHN F. MAISTO, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF UNITED STATES TO THE OAS AT THE SIGNING CEREMONY OF THE AGREEMENT TO HOST THE 2005 OAS GENERAL ASSEMBLY
March 24, 2005 - Washington, DC
• Secretary General Einaudi, it gives me great pleasure to be here today, representing the Government of the United States of America, to sign this important Memorandum of Understanding as host country of the XXXV Organization of American States General Assembly, to take place June 5 - 7 in the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. • This is truly a very important moment in history for the peoples of the Americas. The citizens of our Hemisphere embrace democracy as the best form of government, and have reasonable expectations that it will deliver a better quality of life. • The theme of this General Assembly - Delivering the Benefits of Democracy -- speaks to this challenge. Free elections are only the beginning for consolidating democracy. Today's democratically elected leaders must make democracy work by providing their people the tools and extending opportunity to improve their lives and contribute to the common good. Elected leaders must govern democratically and respect essential elements of democracy as spelled out in the Inter-American Democratic Charter. • The Inter-American System, and its multilateral institutions, must meet this challenge and achieve our objectives. Governments have approved, and the OAS is actively engaged in implementing, a core agenda of major initiatives that can significantly improve delivery of the benefits of democracy by expanding democracy's reach, strengthening democratic institutions and encouraging governmental transparency and sound management. • Given the breadth and significance of our agreed initiatives, our discussion of "Delivering the Benefits of Democracy" at the XXXV General Assembly of the Organization of American States should focus on how to improve our collective efforts to implement this democratic agenda through the Organization and the broader inter-American system.
• Secretary Einaudi, if we can resolve to advance these goals, the XXXV General Assembly of the Organization of American States will have done its part to reassure our peoples that their democratic representatives are determined to deliver both freedom and a better quality of life. The United States is honored to host the countries of our Hemisphere as we work to advance this important objective.
