OAS and Electoral Institute of Jalisco Sign Cooperation Framework Agreement
May 10, 2010
The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Electoral and Citizen Participation Institute of the State of Jalisco, Mexico, today broadened their joint cooperation and committed themselves to strengthening their exchange of experiences and specialized and professional assistance in electoral matters.
Upon signing the Cooperation Framework Agreement between the two organizations, OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza highlighted the fact that the Organization “for a very long time” has sought “not only to observe elections in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean, something we do very often, but also to strengthen electoral institutions and help improve the quality of elections as much as of the institutions conducting the elections and their independence.”
From that point of view, Insulza said, “the Mexican experience is fundamental to us” since the Mexican electoral institutes at the state and federal levels “offer institutional guarantees in the democratic development of the electoral processes as few others in the region.”
For his part, David Gómez Álvarez, Executive Chairman of the Electoral and Citizen Participation Institute of the State of Jalisco, highlighted that between the Institute and the OAS there is “great collaboration,” adding that “some of the members of this institution have already participated in some OAS missions and we have been very much in contact.”
“To us it is fundamental to broaden the reach of our international cooperation with the OAS, as we will do with other international organizations,” he added.
The OAS agreement with the Electoral Institute of Jalisco seeks to broaden cooperation between these two entities, in particular to improve the exchange of experiences on electoral organization; to share specialists and professionals on the organization of elections and other specific areas; and to develop technical cooperation and bring specialists on OAS observation missions.
The OAS currently has cooperation agreements with federal and state electoral institutes of Mexico and the United States.
The Chair of the OAS Permanent Council and Permanent Representative of the United States to the Organization, Carmen Lomellin, also attended at the signing of the agreement, held at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC.
