OAS to Observe Election of Judicial and Constitutional Authorities in Bolivia
July 1, 2011
Responding to an invitation from the government of Bolivia to observe the electoral process for the Election of High Authorities to the Judicial Branch and the Plurinational Constitutional Court to be held October 16, the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, will send an Electoral Observation Mission (EOM) to the country.
As head of that Mission, which began its activities on June 30, Secretary General Insulza designated Martín Torrijos Espino, who was President of the Republic of Panama between 2004 and 2009.
Former President Torrijos Espino has university degrees in Economics and Political Science from the prestigious Texas A&M University. For more than two decades, he was an economic advisor for international firms. In the decade of the 90s he assumed leadership of the Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) Youth; and between 1994 and 1999 he served as Deputy Minister of Government and Justice.
During the first stage of observation, a team of experts will be headed by the special envoy Enrique Correa, who previously headed OAS Electoral Observation Missions to Ecuador and Colombia. He also served as advisor in several OAS missions to Bolivia.
The experts will observe merit-rating and interviews to be conducted by the joint commissions of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly. They will also oversee the pre-selection of the candidates to the different posts in the Plurinational Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court of Justice, the Agri-environmental Court, and the Council of Magistrates. This process, historic in Bolivia, takes place within the Constitutional norms enacted February 7, 2009, and the Mission is confident that all necessary regulatory instruments for their full development will be formulated and published opportunely.
Afterwards, a group of international observers will arrive in the country and be present during the elections of October 16. At the end of the mission, a report will be presented before the Organization’s Permanent Council.
