Assembly 1995 Resolutions(Resolution adopted at the ninth plenary session, held on June 9, 1995)
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
HAVING SEEN the note presented by the Permanent Mission of Nicaragua to the Organization of American States concerning resolutions AG/RES. 1211 (XXIII-O/93) and AG/RES. 1268 (XXIV-O/94); and
CONSIDERING:
That, in its resolution AG/RES. 1211 (XXIII-O/93), the General Assembly resolved to ask the Secretary General to forward to all member states of the OAS the proposed amendment to Article 34 of the American Convention on Human Rights and to request them to submit their comments and observations thereon within a reasonable time;
That the General Assembly repeated this request in its resolution AG/RES. 1268 (XXIV-O/94);
That a number of states have already sent their comments and observations to the Secretary General; and
That the Government of Nicaragua believes it is necessary to reiterate this request to those states that have not yet sent in their observations "so that a mechanism for adoption of the amendment in question might be set in train,"
RESOLVES:
To once again ask those member states of the OAS that have not yet done so to kindly forward to the Secretary General, within a reasonable time, their comments and observations concerning the following proposed amendment to Article 34 of the American Convention on Human Rights:
Proposed Amendment to Article 34
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights shall be composed of 11 members, who shall be persons of high moral character and recognized competence in the field of human rights.
