That both the "Declaration of Asunci?n" and the "Santiago Commitment to Democracy and the Renewal of the Inter-American System," adopted by the General Assembly at its twentieth and twenty-first regular sessions, respectively, reaffirm that objective and accord it special priority;
That, as stated in resolution AG/RES. 1209 (XXIII-O/93), adopted by the General Assembly in Managua in June 1993, integration is a means of creating new economic and social circumstances to help reduce extreme poverty suffered by broad sectors of the region's population and strengthen democracy in the Hemisphere; and
That the Organization of American States is promoting greater cooperation and linkage among the subregional and regional integration mechanisms and organizations, as well as with other institutions involved in the development of the American nations, and that for this purpose it has been conducting certain legal studies designed to enhance the major efforts being undertaken by those mechanisms, organizations, and institutions,
