Ambassador Sonia Johnny, the Permanent Representative of Saint Lucia to the Organization of American States (OAS), formally took the helm of the Permanent Council today, pledging that during her three-month chairmanship she would strive to help the Organization implement new mandates and meet new challenges.
The Saint Lucian diplomat accepted the gavel from Ambassador Izben Williams of St. Kitts and Nevis during a brief ceremony this morning at OAS headquarters. Ambassador Marina Valere of Trinidad and Tobago became the new Vice Chair.
In her remarks, Ambassador Johnny noted that the member states have strengthened the Organization in recent years by adopting such instruments as the Inter-American Democratic Charter and the Declaration on Security in the Americas, and by moving toward the creation of the Social Charter of the Americas, “which we hope will be propelled into existence in the near future.” She called on the OAS to strengthen the linkages between its political and economic agenda, adding that the region is increasingly calling for “the benefits of democracy to be addressed within the ambit of sustained development.”
The OAS must become an “engine of change” in the hemisphere and must also change itself, the Ambassador said, adding that this process has been underway in the past few months under its new leadership. Both OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza and Assistant Secretary General Albert R. Ramdin attended today’s ceremony, along with diplomats from many of the 34 member states represented on the Permanent Council.
