  • The Right of Free Expression and the Rule of Law 365
    CHAPTER VI RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND THOUGHT A. Introduction: The right of free expression and the rule of law 365. The right of free expression is essential for the development and strengthening of democracy and for the full enjoyment of human rights. Full recognition of freedom of expression offers a fundamental guarantee for ensuring the rule of law and democratic institutions. This has been acknowledged on many occasions by different sectors of civil society, international organizations, and most nations.[170] 366. The American Convention on Human Rights, Article 13, enshrines the right of free expression in the following terms: 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought and expression. This right includes freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing, in print, in the form of art, or through any other medium of one’s choice. 2. The exercise of the right provided for in the foregoing paragraph shall not be subject to prior censorship but shall be subject to subsequent imposition of liability, which shall be expressly established by law to the extent necessary to ensure: a. respect for the rights or reputations of others; or, b. the protection of national security, public order, or public health or morals. 3. The right of expression may not be restricted by indirect methods or means, such as the abuse of government or private controls over newsprint, radio broadcasting frequencies, or equipment used in the dissemination of information, or by any other means tending to impede the communication and circulation of ideas and opinions.

Eying re-election is current Secretary General Luis Almagro. He faces stiff competition, however, despite being publicly backed by the US, Brazil and Colombia. Formerly a chancellor of Uruguay in the government of José Mujica, Almagro secured the OAS’ top position in 2015 pledging to promote regional dialogue, and received the near unanimous support of member states. However, his leadership style is seen by many as belligerent, especially over Venezuela, and this, coupled with his closeness to certain governments in the region, has weakened his hand to negotiate.

  • Joint High-Level Session of the Oas Permanent Council and the Inter-American Council for Integral Development
    JOINT HIGH-LEVEL SESSION OF THE OAS PERMANENT COUNCIL AND THE INTER-AMERICAN COUNCIL FOR INTEGRAL DEVELOPMENT Monday, March 19, 2018 10:00am – 1:00pm OAS Main Building, Hall of the Americas 17th St and Constitution Ave Washington, DC Opening remarks by Dr. Carissa Etienne Honorable Juan Aníbal Barría, Permanent Representative of Chile and Chair of the Permanent Council, Honorable Carlos Alberto Calles, Permanent Representative of El Salvador and Chair of the Inter-American Council for Integral Development, Honorable Selwin Charles Hart, Permanent Representative of Barbados, Ambassador Nestor Mendez, Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States, Sir George Alleyne, Director Emeritus, PAHO Distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen, Good morning, It is a pleasure for me to participate in this joint high-level session of the OAS Permanent Council and the Inter-American Council for Integral Development on NCDs and to share my perspectives on how you, as ambassadors and representatives of your countries, can help to address one of the most critical issues hampering sustainable development in the Americas, that is, non-communicable diseases or NCDs. You may be wondering why a health topic, as specific as NCDs, is being brought to the attention of the Permanent Council; particularly when PAHO, as a specialized agency of the OAS, is already dealing with this public health matter. Well, there are three compelling reasons to bring NCDs to your urgent attention. First and foremost, is the tremendous and overwhelming impact on the development of our societies, of these four diseases – cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and chronic 1 respiratory diseases; and their four risk factors- tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, poor diet and physical inactivity.
