PARAGUAY DEPOSITS RATIFICATION INSTRUMENTS
FOR ANTI-TERRORISM TREATY
January 6, 2005
“Together we will overcome this scourge,” Paraguay’s Ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS), Manuel María Cáceres, declared today, referring to the collaborative fight against terrorism, as he deposited the instruments by which his government ratified the Inter-American Convention against Terrorism .
The hemispheric anti-terrorism treaty was adopted at the OAS’ thirty second regular General Assembly session in Bridgetown, Barbados, on June 3, 2002, entering into force on July 10, 2003.
In delivering the ratification documents to Acting Secretary General Luigi Einaudi , the Paraguayan Ambassador said his country respects multilateral institutions and “believes this is the way forward for us, without disregarding internal and bilateral efforts each country is making.”
He expressed satisfaction at his country’s ratification of this treaty, noting Paraguay’s rich tradition of participation in the OAS. Ambassador Cáceres, who is also the OAS Permanent Council’s current Chairman, noted as well that Paraguay was signatory to all hemispheric conventions.
The Acting Secretary General, meanwhile, hailed the Paraguay’s commitment to hemispheric cooperation, symbolized by the deposit of the ratification documents. He said this move also augured very well, particularly as the Inter-American Committee Against Terrorism (CICTE) is in final preparations for its next meeting, slated for early February in Trinidad and Tobago.
Ambassador Einaudi reiterated the importance of the hemispheric convention against terrorism, calling it “an immediate and concrete response” to the grave challenges that stem from the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. He noted the treaty’s important legal framework, its respect for human rights, and its emphasis on “practical—not theoretical—cooperation among our governments,” represented by CICTE.
Among those attending the brief ceremony was the CICTE Executive Director, Steven Monblatt, among other officials, including from Paraguay’s Permanent Mission to the OAS.
