Ambassador Fernando de la Flor Arbulú, Peru’s new Permanent Representative, in presenting credentials at the Organization of American States (OAS) today, stressed the need for a more concerted move to make the Inter-American Democratic Charter a document that is binding on all the signatory states.
Delivering his accreditation letters to Secretary General José Miguel Insulza during a brief ceremony, Ambassador de la Flor said democracy is a challenge that the Democratic Charter addresses very well, and he argued that “the dream of democracy must become a reality for our countries.”
The Peruvian diplomat called for more in-depth debate on priorities issues such as security, human rights and democracy, while acknowledging the OAS’ important efforts on the major hemispheric agenda issues, an agenda he described as already “intense, wide-ranging and essentially changing.”
In welcoming Ambassador de la Flor to the OAS, Secretary General Insulza praised Peru’s important contribution to the hemispheric organization. Insulza touched on a broad range of initiatives currently engaging the Organization’s attention, and expressed confidence that the work will benefit from the presence of the new Peruvian envoy.
A lawyer who has served as Secretary General in the Office of the President of Peru, Ambassador de la Flor Arbulú has also served as Counsel to the President and as legal advisor to the Minister of the Interior. For his outstanding service he has been decorated by the government of Peru and by the governments of Ecuador and Poland as well.
