The Organization of American States will deploy monitors to observe Suriname’s 2005 election process that begins on May 25 with the election of the 51-members of the National Assembly and District and Local (Ressort) Councils. The first of two agreements that are required before the OAS can observe elections in any member state was signed Friday at OAS headquarters in Washington. It set out provided privileges and immunities to be accorded the OAS team observing the May elections and subsequent steps in this year’s electoral process.
The OAS team plans to begin its work in Suriname after a second agreement is signed by the Organization and the Independent Electoral Council (OKB), one of the country’s electoral administration bodies. That agreement guarantees access by the observers to all parts of the electoral process. Later this year, the National Assembly will meet to select the country’s president and vice president. The OAS will observe that part of the process as well.
Ambassador Corinne McKnight, a Trinidad and Tobago diplomat, has been designated as Chief of Mission for the OAS Electoral Observation team that will monitor the election processes and report its findings.
Signing for his government, Suriname’s Ambassador to the OAS, Henry L. Illes, welcomed the agreements as once again putting focus on the relationship between the OAS and Suriname. He commended the Organization for its longstanding, positive role in monitoring electoral processes in member states. The OAS has observed elections in Suriname on five occasions.
“Electoral observation is one of the fundamental roles of the Organization of American States (OAS),” declared Brian Stevenson, Executive Secretary for Integral Development who signed on behalf of Acting Secretary General Luigi R. Einaudi. Stevenson reiterated the Ambassador’s observations, remarking that the OAS is proud of its record in observing elections “particularly because it reinforces the ties and the partnership between the Organization and its member states.”
