Peru highlights OAS role in defense of democracy, fight against corruption
00:00
| Medellin (Colombia), Jun. 28.
Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Nestor Popolizio has highlighted the work done by the Organization of American States (OAS)
in the
promotion and defense of democracy
and
human rights
, as well as in the
fight against corruption
and
gender violence
.
According to the high-ranking official, these efforts reflect the values and principles of the organization and attend to the main needs and demands of the citizens.
Likewise, he indicated the unanimously adopted
Inter-American Democratic Charter
must prevail over the
political, economic, social, and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela
, after the constitutional
breakdown and the attacks on democracy and human rights
by the
illegitimate and dictatorial regime of Nicolas Maduro
.
Furthermore, the Minister stressed it is essential to contribute to the
restoration of democratic order
in the Bolivarian
nation via free, fair, and transparent elections
. For that reason, Peru has called for a Conference for Democracy in Venezuela set to take place in Lima on August 6.
On the other hand, Popolizio pointed out it is necessary for the
prevention and fight against corruption
to occupy a central place in the agenda.
"Its destructive effects undermine democratic governance and the
rule of law
, as well as the effective exercise of
human rights
and
sustainable development
," he expressed.
Remarks were made during the
49th OAS General Assembly held in Medellin, Colombia
.
