COSTA RICAN AMBASSADOR CALLS FOR A STRONG REGION FREE FROM IMPUNITY
March 30, 2005
The strengthening of the inter-American system “will continue to be a core objective of Costa Rica’s foreign policy efforts,” Costa Rican Ambassador Javier Sancho Bonilla , the new Permanent Representative of his country to the Organization of American States (OAS), said today. He also reiterated his government’s commitment to combat corruption and impunity in the hemisphere.
“I urge all the member states to universalize and deepen their commitment to the inter-American human rights system, whose goal is none other than to impede impunity and ensure our families protection from anything that could endanger their fundamental rights,” Sancho Bonilla said in his first speech to the OAS Permanent Council, chaired by Ambassador Manuel María Cáceres of Paraguay.
The Central American diplomat reiterated his government’s commitment to the multidimensional focus on hemispheric security, emphasizing Costa Rica’s full support of OAS efforts to confront such threats as drug trafficking, the trafficking of illegal arms, organized crime, corruption, and inequality and poverty.
Before being named to his new post, Ambassor Sancho Bonilla, a career diplomat, served as Director General of Foreign Policy in Costa Rica’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He has also served as Ambassador to Brazil, Korea and Thailand, and been a delegate to a number of international conferences. He headed his country’s delegation to the Conference of National Coordinators of the Rio Group, held in Santiago, Chile, in March 2001.
