OAS HONORS MEMORY OF CHILEAN DIPLOMATS
KILLED IN COSTA RICA TRAGEDY
July 29, 2004
The Organization of American States (OAS) Permanent Council observed a minute of silence yesterday in memory of the three Chilean diplomats who died Tuesday after a siege at the Chilean Embassy in Costa Rica.
At the request of Costa Rica’s Permanent Representative to the OAS, Ambassador Walter Niehaus, the member state representatives stood for a moment of silence to remember the fallen diplomats, who were among hostages taken by a crazed policeman guarding the Embassy. The policeman subsequently committed suicide.
Ambassador Niehaus told the Permanent Council: “Allow me to express on behalf of the government of Costa Rica our deepest sympathies in the wake of this tragic incident that claimed the lives of Consul Cristian Yuseff, First Secretary Roberto Nieto and Cultural Secretary Rocio Sariego.”
The Costa Rican government has declared three days of mourning, “as testimony to the pain that this tragedy has caused both nations. It has thrown the people and government of Costa Rica into mourning,” Niehaus told the Permanent Council.
President Abel Pacheco signed the decree for the Costa Rican flag to fly at half staff on all public buildings during the period of mourning, as an expression of condolences to the Chilean people and government.
