AT OAS, CHILE REMEMBERS COUP OF SEPTEMBER 11, 1973
September 10, 2003
The overthrow of President Salvador Allende in Chile 30 years ago was remembered as the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) met in regular session Wednesday.
Commenting on the anniversary of the 17-year interruption of democracy in his country, Chile’s Permanent Representative, Ambassador Esteban Tomic, remarked: “September 11, 1973 represents for Chile what September 11, 2001 is for the world: a sudden bend in the road that left behind one view and opened up an entirely new one—for better or for worse.”
In surveying Chile’s socio-political history, Tomic cited as one of the main factors behind the destabilization of his country the inability of the political system to respond to the events and to political players of that era.
Tomic underscored the history-changing September 11 events in the United States two years ago, the same date on which the OAS adopted the Inter-American Democratic Charter, which states in Article 1: “The peoples of the Americas have a right to democracy and their governments have an obligation to promote and defend it.”
He observed that 30 years ago in Chile, “one man paid the ultimate price to defend principles set forth in Article 1 of our Democratic Charter.
“That would be unthinkable today,” he added. “Not because there is a shortage of heroes, but because there are hosts of them. Nothing else explains why we crafted a Democratic Charter and all the mechanisms to more effectively promote and defend democracy in our hemisphere. Thousands, even millions, of human beings today go about their daily lives guided by those values.”
