BOLIVIA ASKS OAS FOR COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE DEADLY VIOLENCE
February 26, 2003
The Bolivian government has asked the Organization of American States (OAS) for a commission to help with investigations underway to determine who was responsible for 32 deaths and the vandalism that took place in La Paz recently, that country’s Interim Representative to the OAS, Ricardo Martínez, said Wednesday.
Martínez said his government “has invited both the Chairman and the Executive Secretary of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) to send the commission as soon as the current IACHR session is concluded.”
The Bolivian diplomat expressed appreciation for the support his country has received in the wake of the February 12 and 13 incidents, saying that support “translated into Permanent Council Resolution 838 which once again underscored the spirit of solidarity from our countries of the Hemisphere.”
The resolution, approved February 14 after Bolivia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Carlos Saavedra addressed the Permanent Council, expressed “its full and decisive support for the constitutional Government of the President of the Republic of Bolivia, Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, and for the democratic institutions,” and condemned the use of violence and other undemocratic acts that disrupt good governance and democracy in Bolivia.
In the resolution, the OAS Permanent Council also underscored “the firm resolve of the member states to apply the mechanisms provided in the Inter-American Democratic Charter for preserving democracy,” stressing as well that “the promotion and observance of economic, social, and cultural rights are inherently linked to integral development, equitable economic growth, and the consolidation of democracy in the states of the Hemisphere.”
