Civil Society calls for the continuation of Virtual Fora: Civil Society Hemispheric Forum in Preparation for the OAS General Assembly and the Fifth Summit of the Americas


On March 3 and 4, 2009, more than 100 civil society participants from the hemisphere met at the OAS Headquarters, to formulate recommendations for the XXXIX OAS General Assembly and the Fifth Summit of the Americas, which will be held in San Pedro Sula, Honduras in June 2009 and Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago in April 2009, respectively.

We are pleased to highlight item 6 under the theme “Strengthening of civil society participation in OAS activities and the Summits of the Americas Process”

“We call for the continuation of the OAS Virtual Forum as an ongoing instrument for network and discussion of issues across the hemisphere by Civil Society.”

To refer to all recommendations made by civil society and other related documents, please visit: http://www.civil-society.oas.org
