SAINT LUCIAN FOREIGN MINISTER DEPOSITS RATIFICATION INSTRUMENTS FOR OAS TREATIES, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HEMISPHERIC SECURITY
April 30, 2003
Saint Lucia’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Julian Hunte, today reassured the Organization of American States that his country places great importance on its role in bolstering hemispheric security.
The Foreign Minister’s remarks came as he deposited ratification and accession instruments for three inter-American treaties, during a ceremony at OAS Headquarters in Washington.
The treaty ratified was the Inter-American Convention against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives and Other Related Materials, while the instruments of accession related to the Inter-American Convention against Corruption and to the Inter-American Convention on Extradition.
Presenting Assistant Secretary General Luigi Einaudi with the documents, Senator Hunte stressed his country’s deep commitment to strengthening the hemispheric process and to seeking appropriate mechanisms for cooperation. Despite the Caribbean country’s relatively small size, “it must never be said that Saint Lucia is myopic in vision,” declared the Foreign Minister.
Minister Hunte, whose portfolio also includes international trade and civil aviation, explained that the Saint Lucian Cabinet had studied all the issues assiduously, “so that when we made our decision to become signatories to this process, we would be certain that we had done so in the most appropriate time—and for all the right reasons.”
Ambassador Einaudi welcomed the Minister and congratulated the Saint Lucian government’s leadership in helping to translate the treaties into practical reality.
In citing the issues addressed by the three treaties, Einaudi noted the “intense concern” in many Caribbean Basin countries regarding the need to find ways to end the illicit trafficking of weapons among unauthorized gangs and others operating outside the law.
