The Organization of American States is sending a team of observers to be on hand for this Sunday’s referendum in Bolivia. The historic referendum poses five questions regarding the country’s natural gas resources.
During a brief signing ceremony in Washington Tuesday, OAS Secretary General César Gaviria signed an agreement with Bolivia’s Ambassador to the OAS, María Tamayo, covering the privileges and immunities being granted to the OAS Observation Mission and its members, who will be involved in the Bolivian consultation process.
“An international presence is very important for this historic process,” said Ambassador Tamayo in an interview after the signing.
Tamayo explained that the referendum is being called in keeping with President Carlos Mesa’s commitment to hold a national consultation for the Bolivian people to decide on the future of the country’s natural gas resources. She went on to note that this referendum is a historic development because it marks the first time in Bolivia’s history that a referendum is being held to allow full participation in a genuine democracy in the country.”
The OAS Observation Mission will observe the referendum first hand and report to the Secretary General, who will in turn update the hemispheric community.
The OAS observers will commence their activities in the city of La Paz, where they will among other things meet with officials of the full National Electoral Court, as well as a variety of political groups and representatives of civil society. Beginning tomorrow, the observers will be deployed to cover various regions of Bolivia.
