PRESENTING CREDENTIALS AT OAS, PERU’S AMBASSADOR REITERATES
COMMITMENT TO INTER-AMERICAN SYSTEM
February 5, 2008
Ambassador María Zavala, presenting credentials as Peru’s new Permanent Representative to the Organization of American States (OAS), told Secretary General José Miguel Insulza that her country remains firmly committed to strengthening the inter-American human rights system.
The new Peruvian envoy also highlighted her government’s commitment to partnership for development and multidimensional security, during the brief ceremony on Tuesday.
“The inter-American agenda and Peru’s foreign policy objectives are at one insofar as accentuating issues such as the promotion and strengthening of democracy, civil rights and human rights; combating corruption, terrorism and drug trafficking; multidimensional security of the hemisphere; and the fight against poverty and promotion of integral development,” said Zavala.
“We remain unequivocal in our support of and commitment to the promotion of democracy, and condemn terrorism in all its manifestations and, in that sense, reiterate our support for OAS peace missions,” he asserted.
In welcoming the Ambassador and receiving his credentials, the Secretary General hailed the appointment of Zavala, a former Minister of Justice, as testimony to the importance that the Peruvian government led by President Alan García attaches to the OAS and to its work in promoting hemispheric peace.
“You have cited some very crucial issues that have kept us busy of late, including one of our main objectives—that of promoting the cause of peace. In that context, far from being oblivious to what is going on in Colombia, we are once again demanding the release of all persons held hostage in that country. The Inter-American Convention against Terrorism is unequivocal on this matter by identifying acts of terrorism, including hostage-taking and kidnapping,” Insulza said.
