The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, and the Permanent Representative of Costa Rica, Alejandra Solano today signed the agreement on privileges and immunities for the sending of an Electoral Observation Mission (EOM) for the municipal elections to be held on February 4 in the Central American country.
During the ceremony held at OAS headquarters in Washington DC, Ambassador Solano highlighted that the region is “at a transcendental moment where it is necessary to increase electoral collaboration and strengthen the commitment of member states to transparency and citizen participation.” In addition, she said the OAS “has witnessed our dedication to democratic principles. We will continue to work together to ensure that in the municipal elections we can demonstrate that we are an example of participatory, inclusive and fair democracy and that it is a symbol of our firm will to move towards a more democratic and more prosperous future for everyone in the Americas.”
Meanwhile, Secretary General Almagro expressed gratitude for “the renewed confidence of the Supreme Election Tribunal in the technical work developed by our observation teams,” and recalled that when the OAS “deployed its first Mission in 1962 for the elections, curiously also held on 4 February, that was the beginning of a long and fruitful path that this General Secretariat has taken.” Since that date, he added, “the missions have evolved and become professional exercises that support member states in their continuous effort to strengthen and update their electoral systems.”
The Mission will be composed of international specialists who will analyze aspects related to electoral organization and technology, political-electoral financing, women's political participation and electoral justice.
