The new Permanent Representative of Peru to the Organization of American States (OAS), Ambassador Antero Flores-Araoz, today reiterated his government’s commitment to the principles of the Inter-American Democratic Charter, as he presented his credentials to OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza.
Reaffirming the responsibilities that Peru has assumed through the treaties it has joined within the framework of the Organization, Flores-Araoz stressed that the Inter-American Democratic Charter marks a milestone in the history of the OAS and helps define “what should constitute a permanent commitment to democracy—not just any democracy, but representative democracy as laid out in OAS instruments.”
In receiving the Peruvian Ambassador’s credentials, Insulza thanked the government of President Alan García and his Foreign Minister for the consideration with which Peru has always treated the Organization, adding that “your designation to this important post in representation of your country is without a doubt another demonstration of the importance and relevance that Peru devotes to its relations with the OAS.”
Insulza noted the long political career of Ambassador Flores-Araoz as “a Peruvian politician of the highest level” who has served, among other posts, as President of Congress. “Your arrival to the OAS represents an interruption of your involvement in national politics, in which you have always been very active and have had a very important role in political issues related to democracy and human rights. It is an honor for us to welcome you,” the Secretary General said.
In his remarks, the new Peruvian envoy referred to a ruling by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, which in November 2006 ordered the Peruvian government to compensate some prisoners and families of deceased prisoners of Peru’s Castro Castro Prison, as the result of a police and military operation carried out there in 1992. He said that Peru maintains the right, within the procedures identified in the American Convention of Human Rights, to demand an interpretation of the ruling.
During the ceremony, which was attended by representatives of member states, the Peruvian diplomat stressed that on this issue, his country will act “with due respect for the mechanisms determined in the Convention, of which Peru is a signatory.” He added that his country has a reparations system in place that was approved by its democratically elected Congress.
