The Organization of American States (OAS), through its Department Against Transnational Organized Crime (DDOT), and the Foundation for International Democracy will join forces to strengthen the institutional capacities of member states in the fight against transnational organized crime and in the promotion of democracy and human rights.
The Secretary General of the OAS, Albert R. Ramdin, said that with this alliance, “we reaffirm our commitment to working together with governments, organizations, and civil society to strengthen our alliances against organized crime and to build more just, secure, and humane societies.”
For his part, the President of the Foundation for International Democracy, Guillermo Whpei, said he had no doubt that “this is the first step toward a better future.” He also expressed the willingness of the organization he leads to continue working with the OAS, emphasizing that “our organization is based in Argentina, but it works globally, on every continent, and is at your service and that of your Organization for whatever you may need.”
Through the DDOT, the OAS will collaborate with the Foundation for International Democracy on the implementation of joint programs for technical cooperation, information exchange, training, and the development of projects aimed at strengthening security, justice, and the defense of fundamental rights.
The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation in the design of programs, research, publications, and technical assistance, as well as promoting transparency, institutional ethics, and the prevention of corruption.
This collaboration reflects the shared commitment of both institutions to strengthening the capacities of member states and promoting safer, more democratic societies that respect human rights in the Americas.
