1. Secretary General’s Statement
The Inter-American System has evolved for over a century. In its current itera�on, the Organiza�on of
American States (OAS) con�nues to be the foremost poli�cal forum of the Western Hemisphere. As the
main pla�orm of hemispheric mul�lateralism, the OAS has united our region in a commitment to human
rights, social jus�ce and representa�ve democracy. The Permanent Observers who share these same
values, have helped to strengthen and preserve this commitment.
Today, we face complex challenges in the form of authoritarian regimes whose effects are felt throughout
the region, rampant corrup�on, criminal organiza�ons with transna�onal reach, poverty, social and
economic inequality, and natural disasters. These growing threats can only be addressed through ac�on
that is based not only on principles, but also on strong collabora�on with our partners.
Since 1972, Permanent Observers have accompanied the OAS’s role as a guarantor of democracy, champion of human rights, and
staunch defender of human dignity. Thus, the OAS has worked con�nuously to develop new ways to strengthen our partnerships with
Permanent Observers and increase the impact of our joint efforts in benefit of the people of the Americas.
This third Report to Permanent Observers seeks to promote a greater understanding of our common goals and ini�a�ves. It presents
the OAS’s core competencies to address the challenges to democracy, human rights, mul�dimensional security and integral develop-
ment. The report also includes a compendium of the General Secretariat’s projects in the coming years.
As we confront the unprecedented combina�on of poli�cal, governance, and natural disaster challenges, it is crucial to intensify
coopera�on and communica�on not just within our own region but across regions of the world.

2. OAS Strategic Path
The Organiza�on of American States is building a strong founda�on for the future, combining a Strategic Vision that refocuses its
work with a Strategic Plan to achieve that vision.
Strategic Vision
In June 2014, the General Assembly approved the Vision of the Organiza�on, establishing that: “The OAS is the hemispheric poli�cal
forum inclusive of all the countries of the Americas that, in an equal and interdependent way, strengthens democracy, promotes and
protects human rights, advances integral development, and fosters mul�dimensional security with jus�ce and social security
inclusion for the benefit of the peoples of the Americas.
This Vision is the guiding principle that directs all the efforts of the Organiza�on, moving toward the equality and interdependence
of its pillars.
Strategic Plan
Member States approved the basis of a Strategic Plan in October 2016, which contained mul�ple interdependent strategic lines and
objec�ves for the four pillars of work (democracy, human rights, security and development) and the areas of ins�tu�onal
strengthening and administra�ve management.
This Strategy seeks to achieve 4 key transi�ons:
• First, from working in a compartmentalized way to a vision-driven, trust-based collabora�on.

• Second, from programs and projects formulated and delivered in isola�on to integrated-programs built from the four pillars
perspec�ve, resul�ng in their equality as well as interdependence.
• Third, from iner�al budgets to policy-driven budgets that respond to Member States’ direc�ves.
• Fourth, all this will be complemented by goals, indicators, deadlines and responsible par�es, as required by results-based
management.

3. OAS Strengths and Capabili�es
Human Rights
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has played a
vital role in promo�ng the adop�on of cons�tu�onal reforms, laws and
public policies with a human rights focus, as well as judgments in
accordance with Inter-American norms and standards. Its
recommenda�ons have led States to eliminate discriminatory laws,
policies, and prac�ces; provide comprehensive repara�ons to vic�ms;
prevent the recurrence of human rights viola�ons; and strengthen the
protec�on of human rights. The Commission’s reports have also served
as a catalyst for the OAS to adopt collec�ve and structural ac�ons to
protect rights and democra�c freedoms in Member States.
To fulfill its mandate, the Commission employs a series of unique mechanisms, including:
• Conduc�ng on-site visits and observa�ons;

• Receiving and processing individual cases and pe��ons, friendly se�lements, and precau�onary measures;
• Appearing before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in cases and other ma�ers;
• Holding thema�c public hearings on the situa�on of human rights in the region;
• Establishing country and thema�c Rapporteurships;
• Producing recommenda�ons for States and following-up on their implementa�on;
• Providing technical assistance to States;
• Preparing studies and reports;
• Conduc�ng promo�onal ac�vi�es; and
• Issuing press releases and resolu�ons on pressing human rights topics.

OAS Strengths and Capabili�es
Democracy
The Secretariat for Strengthening Democracy (SSD) is contribu�ng to the strengthening of
poli�ca processes in OAS Member States, and in par�cular, to support democracy as the best
op�on to ensure peace, security and development.
The Department of Electoral Coopera�on and Observa�on (DECO) has a unique posi�on in
strengthening electoral processes in the region along the en�re electoral cycle. It both deploys
Electoral Observa�on Missions and supports countries to follow-up on and implement these
missions’ recommenda�ons:
• Pre-electoral phase and Elec�on Day: experts and observers gather data and present their findings to electoral authori�es. Their presence also
helps to ensure that the opposi�on is heard, that irregulari�es are reported, and that elec�ons are not unjus�fiably ques�oned.
• Post-electoral phase: through technical recommenda�ons, EOMS provide vital informa�on that increases the awareness of electoral authori�es
regarding the strengths and weaknesses of their electoral processes.
• In between elec�ons, OAS/DECO works with electoral management bodies (upon their request) to improve their electoral systems by
implemen�ng EOM recommenda�ons.
Through the Department of Sustainable Democracy and Special Missions (DSDSM), the SSD provides support to the General Secretariat in handling
poli�cal and ins�tu�onal conflicts in the region.
The Mission to Support the Fight against Corrup�on and Impunity in Honduras (MACCIH) offers a unique structure to support the fight against
corrup�on in Honduras, working in integrated teams to inves�gate instances of corrup�on. The team brings interna�onal experience and
knowledge to the work of preven�ng and comba�ng corrup�on and impunity, reforming the criminal jus�ce sector, and increasing public security.
The Belize-Guatemala Mission increases trust in the Adjacency Zone, by facilita�ng mee�ngs between both countries’ militaries and other
governmental officials, inves�ga�ng incidents in the zone from a neutral perspec�ve and offering programming to the local communi�es -
including art classes and English lessons.
The Mission to Support the Peace Process in Colombia (MAPP) works on peacebuilding with a territorial approach. The Mission’s presence in the
field will be expanded through the opening of two new offices, one in Caucasia (An�oquia) and another in Ocaña (Norte de Santander). These two
regional offices will be added to the exis�ng sixteen and will focus their work on the territories that have been most affected by the internal armed
conflict, genera�ng informa�on and relevant and �mely recommenda�ons on the main challenges and threats to peace.
6 REPORT TO PERMANENT OBSERVERS 2018 - 2019

Mul�dimensional Security
The Secretariat for Mul�dimensional Security (SMS) promotes and coordinates
coopera�on and capacity-building among OAS Member States in order to assess,
prevent, confront, and respond effec�vely to threats to security in the Hemisphere.
The SMS’s sphere of ac�vi�es is defined primarily by the aforemen�oned
Declara�on and it is organized into 4 dependencies:
The Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD) is the Western

Hemisphere’s policy forum for dealing with the drug problem. CICAD’s Execu�ve
Secretariat (ES/CICAD) assists Member States in strengthening drug policies.
ES/CICAD also provides technical assistance and training to reduce the produc�on,
trafficking and abuse of licit and illicit drugs in the Hemisphere.
The Inter-American Commi�ee against Terrorism (CICTE) promotes and develops coopera�on between Member States to prevent,
combat and eliminate terrorism. The CICTE Secretariat provides technical and legisla�ve assistance to Member States to prevent,
counter and eliminate terrorism in all its manifesta�ons.
The Department against Transna�onal Organized Crime (DTOC) promotes technical assistance to Member States to combat
transna�onal organized crime (TOC) in its diverse manifesta�ons. It also develops training programs and facilitates coopera�on
among Member States to strengthen regional efforts against TOC.
The Department of Public Security (DPS) designs and implements ini�a�ves aimed at suppor�ng the efforts of Member States to
assess, prevent, confront and respond to threats posed by the different manifesta�ons of violence and crime.

Integral Development
The Organiza�on’s Secretariat for Integral Development (OAS/SEDI)
works with all Member States to iden�fy common challenges and define
solu�ons through policy dialogue, which is then transformed into ac�ons
through technical coopera�on ini�a�ves. Policy dialogue is central to
SEDI’s work. The OAS convenes development leaders in 11 ministerial
mee�ngs and high level processes on priority areas such as
compe��veness, labor, and educa�on, among others. Technical
coopera�on ini�a�ves emerge from ongoing dialogue and are therefore
established with built-in poli�cal support.
SEDI’s ability to deliver results relies on broad collabora�on. Partnership for development —cooperación solidaria—is a unique OAS
concept which recognizes that each Member State –regardless of its size, wealth, or level of development—has value to share and
can learn from others. This concept also includes close collabora�on with other partners, amplifying the OAS’s reach and impact.
The OAS also plays a catalyst role in promo�ng alliances with strategic partners and in convening stakeholders in the field of
development to respond to the needs of Member States. It generates synergies and coordinates efforts with regional and mul�lateral
development partners in line with the nature of development coopera�on today where experiences, collec�ve learning, horizontal
and complementary efforts are strategic assets for OAS Member States. Having all the relevant actors at the table, working with the
key regional and mul�lateral development partners on a series of projects, ini�a�ves and ac�vi�es, all sharing a sense of ownership,
creates a very posi�ve environment for deepening coopera�on and shaping our regional future.

5. Why partner with the OAS?
OAS compe��ve advantages

The OAS is uniquely placed to help deliver on the ambi�ous agenda of
promo�ng more rights for more people:
1) Na�onal offices throughout La�n America and the Caribbean.
2) Main poli�cal forum for the convening of government authori�es and
stakeholders at the Inter-American level responsible for democracy,
human rights, security, and development.
3) Unique Inter-American legal framework in the fields of democracy and
human rights.
4) Mul�-sectorial alignment (democracy, human rights, security, and
development).
5) In depth-knowledge of country needs, in par�cular of smaller countries and regions at the subna�onal level.
6) Work on the field (Electoral Missions, Special Missions, Rapporteurships, Hearings) as an input for coopera�on.
The OAS has something that no other interna�onal organiza�on has: a legal framework to advance democracy and human rights
agreed to by its Member States. Those regional principles - when placed in the hands of legislators, judges, a�orneys, and other
actors in the legal system - become tools that are useful for strengthening the rights of people in the Americas.
Through the Electoral Observa�on Missions (EOMs), the OAS contributes to the strengthening of democra�c processes. In addi�on,
reports on the peace process in Colombia (MAPP) or the fight against corrup�on in Honduras (MACCIH) can also be used as input to
strengthening poli�cal and democra�c ins�tu�ons in OAS Member States. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights’
Rapporteurships and hearings provide enough informa�on to develop projects and programs with the Governments regarding access
to human rights.
In the area of mul�dimensional security, the OAS has developed an exper�se, capacity and reputa�on in a wide range of topics from
cybersecurity and public security to mechanisms to cooperate in the fight against organized crime and drugs.

Why partner with the OAS?
OAS compe��ve advantages

The OAS has an interdisciplinary approach to development. Ministerial mee�ngs bring a diversity of ministers to the OAS, including
authori�es in charge of Compe��veness, the Ministries of Labor, Educa�on, Tourism, Sustainable Development, and Energy, among
others. Nego�a�ons among 34 Member States shape the declara�ons and objec�ves for a common hemispheric development
agenda.
Through the OAS Strategic Plan, Member States defined the organiza�on’s strategic vision with objec�ves and programs that respond
to their na�onal and regional needs. The General Secretariat iden�fied areas of unique ins�tu�onal exper�se, priori�zing a series of
programs, products and services where the organiza�on has a compara�ve advantage and the capacity to deliver high impact results.
This renewed approach will ensure be�er program execu�on and strengthen our response to key issues in the region.
In addi�on, the OAS has priori�zed results-based management to design sound development projects, monitor their progress, and
measure their results and impact.

New approaches: Permanent Council Mee�ng with Observers

Last May 7th, 2019 , the Hall of the Americas of the Organiza�on of
American States hosted the Second Permanent Council dedicated to
Permanent Observers, an ini�a�ve that provided a forum for discussion
with Member States, and to build closer �es of collabora�on between the
bodies of the Organiza�on and these main strategic partners.
The mee�ng, in which the contribu�ons of the Permanent Observers were

recognized, served to exchange informa�on on common objec�ves and
projects, iden�fy goals and strengthen poli�cal dialogue and alliances.
Since 2005, Permanent Observers have financed projects worth more than 200 million dollars, sharing their professional skills and
exper�se through the exchange of informa�on and best prac�ces on the most significant issues of the Inter-American agenda.
Permanent Observers to the OAS are vital partners. Although many of them already cooperate bilaterally with Member States, when
a forum of discussion gathering all 34 Member States is required, it is clear that the OAS is the space for mul�lateral coopera�on with
the Hemisphere.
It is important to note that it is not only financial support, but also in-kind contribu�ons that help strengthen the Organiza�on's
programs. Through this collabora�on, the OAS has managed to recover leadership spaces in the promo�on of democracy, human
rights, security and integral development in the Americas.
In a world where countries cannot always understand each other to work towards common goals, the OAS and its Member States
work together to promote shared values.

What our partners say about working with the OAS

Ambassador Cristóbal Valdés (SPAIN): “Spain fully shares the
vision and values set forth in the OAS Charter and in the
Democratic Charter, which encourage the construc�on of a
Hemispheric Community that promotes Democracy, Peace and Security, the
Rule of Law, Jus�ce and Human Rights, Fundamental Freedoms and
Equality.
Spain believes in democracy and, therefore, this has been and will con�nue
to be a priority in our rela�onship with the OAS. Democracy is built day by
day. Democracy, freedom and Human rights are inseparable commitments.
Therefore, from the first moment, through the Spain-OAS Fund, we have been suppor�ng projects aimed at strengthening
democracy and human rights in the Hemisphere.”
Ambassador Anne de la Blache (FRANCE): “France has been a Permanent Observer to the OAS since 1972 and our ac�ons
with the OAS focus on two priority themes for both the OAS and France: promo�ng Human Rights and strengthening
Democracy. The fight against enforced disappearances, with our Argen�nean partner, is also one of the French priori�es in
the Hemisphere.
These priorities echo the tremendous work of the Inter-American Human Rights System, which promotes and protects respect for
these rights in the Americas. It is in recogni�on of this central element of OAS ac�on that France con�nues to support the work of
the IACHR by extending the financial support it has given to it for several years.”

Ambassador Marilina Armellin (ITALY): “Within the framework of its legal diplomacy ac�on, in 2016, Italy made the
decision to open a new chapter of cooperation with the OAS with a significant contribu�on to the training ac�vi�es of the
Secretariat for Mul�dimensional Security (SSM), and contribu�ons to the Mission of Support against Corrup�on and
Impunity in Honduras (MACCIH-OAS) and, more recently, the Mission to Support the Peace Process in Colombia (MAPP/OEA).
Alternate Ambassador Heleen Bakker (THE NETHERLANDS): “The dialogue between OAS-Observers and Member States
used to be only a fixed part of an OAS General Assembly. The Kingdom of the Netherlands appreciates that this now is a
formal part of the Permanent Council and that we have the opportunity to interact at least twice a year.
By assuring more frequent dialogue, we are hoping the focus and interest of the Observers and Members can be better aligned.
My aim is that we don’t only share our priori�es, but also have �me for discussion amongst each other. I am always open for feedback
and look forward to learn more from Member States or other OAS Observers.”
Ambassador Mar�n Dahinden (SWITZERLAND): “On behalf of the Swiss Government, I would like to thank you for this
renewed opportunity of exchange between the Permanent Observers and the OAS Permanent Council. During the last year,
the OAS has con�nuously been dealing with key issues includ-ing good governance, promo�on of democracy and the rule of
law, protec�on of human rights as well as the fight against corrup�on and impunity. Switzerland firmly believes that the
implementa�on of these principles is a precondi�on for ensuring sustained social and economic development, peace and security,
and the preven�on of conflicts. I would like to assure you of our con�nued interest of and commitment to being an ac�ve Observer
and contribu�ng to the efforts of the OAS by suppor�ng specific projects.”


Alternate Ambassador Yu Yue (People’s Republic of China): (remarks delivered in Spanish) “China seguirá brindando los
apoyos de nuestro alcance a la construcción ins�tucional de esta Organización y estrechar aún más nuestras cooperaciones
con la Secretaría General en los programas y proyectos que beneficien al desarrollo de la OEA y al pueblo del hemisferio,
con miras a promover la profundización de conocimientos recíprocos y la amistad con los países de la región”.
Ambassador Kazutoshi Aikawa (Japan): “The OAS is Japan’s biggest partner in the development of the region for many
years. Our recent contribu�on to the OAS regarding mining in Colombia demonstrates synergy between security and
development, and there can be more synergy in this way. We are determined to build our partnership with the OAS toward
our shared goal of sustainable development.”
Alternate Ambassador Caroline Vicini (EUROPEAN UNION): “The EU values highly its frui�ul rela�onship with the OAS and
the Permanent Council, which is essen�al to our strategy towards the region. It is through our Memorandum of
Understanding with the OAS, that this year is a decade old, that we have been able to ins�tu�onalize our bilateral policy
dialogues. I am glad to say that we held our most recent EU-OAS High Level Poli�cal Dialogue last December 6th in
Washington, led by our Managing Director for the Americas and a team of experts. We considered the mee�ng a success and look
forward to planning the next one.”
