OAS SECRETARY GENERAL MEETS WITH LEADERS OF US HISPANIC COMMUNITY
September 11, 2009
Washington, D.C. The Secretary General of the Organization of American Status (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, on Thursday met with leaders and policy experts of several national Hispanic organizations to discuss international migration and other issues of importance to Latinos in the United States in what was the first of a planned series of policy dialogues with national leaders of the US Hispanic community.
Secretary General Insulza said he would like the OAS to strengthen and institutionalize its relationships with Latino organizations in this country. “I’ve always wondered why in an organization where Latinos are so important, so present, why we don’t work together more and find ways of engaging with each other and strengthen our relationships,” he said, referring to the OAS.
Among the subjects discussed during the meeting were the OAS’s ongoing activities related to migration, including programs to support youth at risk of migration from the region, activities to protect women from violence along the border between the United States and Mexico, and an investigation by the Inter-American Human Rights Commission regarding the conditions of immigrant detainees in the United States.
Representatives of the following organizations were present at the meeting: Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF); Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA); National Association of Hispanic Publications, Inc. (NAHP); The ASPIRA Association; Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU); and MANA, A National Latina Organization.
The subject of comprehensive immigration reform in the United States, to which one of the guests referred as of paramount importance to the Latino community, was also brought up during the meeting. Though the OAS does not get involved in the internal affairs of its member countries, the issue of international migration may be addressed by the OAS in other contexts, such as that of human rights.
This policy dialogue was the first in a series that will serve as a forum to strengthen conversation and sharing of information between the OAS and the US-based Latino community. A primary goal is to raise awareness of issues and policies in which both the OAS and the Latino community are currently engaged, and to discuss how US Latino leadership organizations can work more collaboratively with the OAS to become effective partners to strengthen society throughout the Americas.
