In 1994, Gaviria was elected Secretary General of the OAS (his term beginning after the end of his
presidential term in August 1994). Reelected in 1999, he worked extensively on behalf of Latin
America. Between October 2002 and May 2003, he served as international facilitator of the OAS

President Hugo Chávez and the Coordinadora Democrática opposition.[5]
