The government of Ireland has made a significant contribution to the Organization of American States (OAS), to help fund human rights activities related to the OAS Mission to Support the Peace Process in Colombia.
During a meeting with Secretary General José Miguel Insulza, Ireland’s Permanent Observer to the OAS, Ambassador Noel Fahey, explained that his country has a growing interest in Latin America and that many issues central to the OAS, such as human rights, democracy, governance and development, are priorities for his government.
“The peace process in Colombia is in everybody’s interest,” he told the Secretary General. Ireland’s donation of 130,000 euros, which will go to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, complements its previous contribution of 390,000 euros over three years to support the mission in Colombia, which is known as the OAS/MAPP.
In thanking Ambassador Fahey, Insulza said the new donation will strengthen OAS plans to expand its MAPP activities, with a particular emphasis on efforts to verify human rights issues related to the peace process.
The special mission was established nearly two years ago, at the Colombian government’s request, to accompany efforts to demobilize and disarm illegal armed groups and reintegrate them into communities. Last month, during the Fourth Summit of the Americas, the hemisphere’s leaders recognized the contributions of the OAS and its Secretary General to the peace process in Colombia.
The OAS has 35 member states and 60 permanent observers, which provide critical support to a number of multilateral efforts in the region, including electoral observation missions and programs to promote democracy, human rights and development. Ireland became a permanent observer of the OAS in May 2000.
