INAUGURAL SESSIONHELD ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009

The inaugural session of the 84th regular meeting of the Directing Council of the Inter-American Children's Institute (IIN) began at 9:25 a.m., and was attended by official delegations of the member states of the Organization of American States (OAS) that make up the Directing Council of the IIN1; high officials of the Government of the Republic of Peru and of the General Secretariat of the OAS; representatives of international organizations and civil society organizations; and staff of the Ministry of Women and Social Development and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru and of the IIN Office.2

Ms. Norma Añaños, Vice Minister of Women of the Ministry of Women and Social Development (MIMDES), offered welcoming remarks on behalf of the Minister of Women and Principal Delegate of Peru to the IIN Directing Council, Ms. Nidia Vilchez Yucra, who apologized for her absence owing to affairs of state. She greeted the President of the IIN Directing Council, Mr. Mario Víquez Jiménez; the Secretary for Legal Affairs of the OAS, Dr. Arrighi, who represented the OAS Secretary General; Ms. María de los Dolores Aguilar, Director General of the IIN; the representatives of the member states; the staff of the foreign ministry and of the MIMDES; and all others in attendance.

She offered a warm and cordial welcome, on behalf of the Peruvian people, of the President of the Republic, and of the Minister of the MIMDES, to those in attendance at the 84th regular meeting of the Directing Council, which Peru was proud to host. She said her country assumed this high honor and responsibility with great commitment to the achievement of the noble and singular aims of children’s rights and their clear manifestation in government policies.

She said that both the XX Pan American Child Congress and the 84th regular meeting had special significance because Peru was hosting for the second time, after many years; and because they would provide a forum for the member states to set forth their policies and strategies, lending greater certainty to the fulfillment of children’s rights.

She stressed once again that, since the last time Peru had hosted these events, important changes had taken place in the world and in her country. These concerned the rights of persons and economic growth with freedom and justice. They involved a modernizing process centered on social policy with investment to include the most vulnerable persons and groups, such as children.

She stressed that their “guaguas,” their sons and daughters, represented their past, present, and future, their very lives, so one of the most important values to be protected was these children’s feeling of security in the family setting. Peru took seriously the care of children and their human capabilities. Only in the full exercise of democracy could they establish instruments and mechanisms for resolving problems in a timely and relevant fashion. She

mentioned that the MIMDES, whose team was present, was carrying out the National Plan of Action for Children, working across sectors and with civil society organizations and businesses, key actors in the development of peoples. The Peruvian state had taken seriously the promotion and protection of children’s rights. She emphasized the importance of this meeting convened by the OAS and the IIN and the great responsibility of mobilizing political will, commitment, and action for children in the region.

Peru echoed the statements by children participating in the First Pan American Forum: they wanted not more violence or war but greater opportunities for development.

On behalf of the Minister, acting as representative for the children, she expressed the wish that all those in attendance would feel at home, and her pleasure at welcoming them to Peru.

Next to speak was Dr. Jean Michel Arrighi, Secretary for Legal Affairs of the Organization of American States (OAS), representing the Secretary General, Dr. José Miguel Insulza.

Dr. Arrighi greeted all the officials in attendance; the representatives of the member states of the OAS sitting on the Directing Council; the staff of the foreign ministry and the Ministry of Women and Social Development; and all other participants. He said he was greatly honored to be present on behalf of the Secretary General, who, for reasons well known, had had to stay in his office, even though he had intended to participate in both the Directing Council meeting and the XX Pan American Congress. He added that his remarks would be brief, because the following day he would address the Plenary during the opening of the XX Pan American Congress and also because the Directing Council, at this one-day meeting, would need to work quite hard to address and adopt resolutions on the topics on its agenda.

He reaffirmed the gratitude of the OAS General Secretariat and of the Inter-American Children's Institute to the Peruvian officials for their efforts in organizing and conducting three concurrent meetings: the 84th regular meeting of the Directing Council, the XX Pan American Child Congress, and the First Pan American Forum on Children.

Next to speak was Mr. Mario Víquez Jiménez, President of the Directing Council and Principal Delegate of Costa Rica.

The President greeted the Vice Minister; Dr. Arrighi, whose honest and realistic remarks he appreciated; the Director General of the IIN; the principal and alternate delegates; the special guests; and all friends in general. On behalf of the Directing Council of the IIN, he issued a welcome to the 84th regular meeting, which was being held in conjunction with two other important events: the XX Pan American Child Congress, which had been declared an inter-American specialized conference, and the First Pan American Forum on Children.

He thanked the Government of Peru for the hospitality and warm welcome it was extending as host of these activities of such importance to the Organization of American States.

He pointed to the commemoration of the 20-year anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, one of the topics to be addressed at the XX Pan American Congress, and said this held special meaning for him because it had been his honor to represent his country, Costa Rica, when the Convention was adopted at United Nations headquarters. At that moment, he said, people recognized it as a milestone for children; but its meaning and impact had

2


exceeded all expectations. It constituted the promulgation of the specific human rights of persons of minor age. In its perceptive and programmatic way, it had fostered a radical transformation in the legal and social standing of children. There was one world before the Convention and now a different world with the Convention, and all the countries, in adopting that instrument, had assumed commitments that now brought them here to this meeting. The participants came from different places, with different languages, traditions, and cultures, but their shared interest was to promote and protect children’s rights.

Citing José Martí, he said the Americas must promote everything that brings peoples closer and abhor everything that separates us. He added that, as with all human problems, prevention was necessary, and that, in effect, everyone shared a daily life that involved the promotion and restoration of children’s rights, including painful situations in which adults did not respect those rights.

According to UNICEF data, in Latin America no fewer than six million boys and girls are subjected to severe abuse and 80,000 die each year in violent situations, mostly within their own families; one in five persons of minor age, i.e., between 5 and 14, is a victim of labor exploitation, and nearly 65% of street children are affected in some way by sexual exploitation.

He cited the President of Costa Rica and Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Oscar Arias Sánchez, who said, “Latin America is unenlightened when it insists on strengthening its armies instead of feeding its children, when it insists on defending itself against imaginary, magnified foreign enemies instead of fighting its real, concrete, internal enemies: hunger and ignorance, inequality and illness, violence and insecurity. No one has ever managed to kill poverty with bullets. There is no record of illiteracy being eradicated by the inauguration of a new military air defense program. Nevertheless, the 200 million Latin Americans who live on less than US$2 a day are condemned to endure their inferno while this year almost US$60 billion are allocated to military spending.”

He went on to say that it seemed the American peoples ought to encourage cooperation, strengthen their institutions, and forge alliances for development and peace.

He thought that the region, if united, could be among the strongest in the world, and that, in terms of children’s rights, there was frequent consensus and a long history of dialogue and success in the region. This also was the topic addressed by the IIN, founded in 1927 to contribute to the development of public policies that guarantee the exercise of children’s rights, in the context of strengthening democratic governance in the OAS member states, promoting collaboration with civil society, and building a culture of rights and well-being for children.

He said that the 82nd anniversary of the founding of the IIN and the 60 th anniversary of its integration into the OAS were now being celebrated and that, although over those years the achievements had been many, it was also true that many challenges lay ahead. He added that, since he had taken office as President of the Directing Council, emphasis had been placed on consolidating a regional forum of states for the promotion and discussion of experiences with children’s issues from the perspective of children’s rights.

He said they were embarking on a valuable day of work, the details of which would be tailored to the XX Pan American Congress, whose preliminary session would take place that afternoon.

3


He recalled the four major topics to be addressed during the XX Pan American Congress and the first Pan American Forum. The latter should be most pleasing to them, as an opportunity to promote children’s participation in an official activity in which they would exercise their right to voice their opinions and be heard by the authorities.

He closed by offering all the adults a reflection in the words of the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda: “At home I’ve gathered toys large and small, without which I could not live. A child who does not play is not a child, but the man who does not play has lost forever the child who lived in him, whom he will sorely miss.”

He invited them to undertake their work with commitment and the enthusiasm of children who have not forgotten how to play.

At the conclusion of the inaugural session, the heads of delegation of the member states and the officials of the host country, the OAS, and the IIN were invited to gather for the official photograph of the meeting.

The rest of the attendees were asked to remain in their seats, because the first plenary session was about to begin.

Ms. Aguilar Marmolejo announced that the statutory quorum had been met and listed the delegations present.

5. Procedure for the presentation of topics and the adoption of resolutions

At the request of the President, this procedure was explained by Dr. Jorge Valladares, coordinator of the IIN’s legal area.

6. Establishment of the deadline for submitting draft resolutions (Article 14 of the Rules of Procedure)

The President suggested that the deadline for submitting draft resolutions be set at 12:30 p.m. and the Plenary agreed.

7. Formation of committees

a. After the Plenary was consulted, the delegates of Argentina, Brazil, Jamaica, and the United States offered to sit on the Style Committee.

b. Also formed was a committee or working group to review the agreements signed by the Office of the Director General ad referendum of the Directing Council (Article 9.d of the Statute and Article 14 of the Rules of Procedure), consisting of the delegates of Antigua and Barbuda, Chile, Saint Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago, who decided to meet at 12:30 p.m. The agreements, recorded in document CD/doc. 7/09, had been distributed beforehand to the member states.

Presentation of the report of the Office of the Director General (October 2008 to September 2009). Follow-up on the 2007-2011 Plan of Action (CD/doc. 6/09):

The report was presented by the Director General of the IIN, Ms. María de los Dolores Aguilar Marmolejo. Added to the report previously sent to the member states, which was included in the folder of meeting documents, was information on the proposal “Protection and Promotion of Children’s Rights in the Inter-American System.” She mentioned that on September 21 a meeting had been held in Lima to form the advisory council. That meeting was attended by officials of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and representatives of three member states: Colombia, Guatemala, and Jamaica.

Comments to the Plenary:

1. Chile congratulated the Director General and her entire team on the presentation and, without prejudice to the subsequent review of the documents, requested that the report be adopted in recognition of the tremendous and devoted effort made by the Director General and her team.

2. Colombia applauded the IIN’s progress and recalled that in 2006, at the meeting held in Montevideo, it had been decided to strengthen the Institute with programs to benefit children of the member states. During this term, the Office of the Director General had achieved continuity, working with the Office of the President, held first by the representative of Ecuador and now by the representative of Costa Rica. This was reflected and described in the report of the Director General. Colombia referred to the Inter-American Cooperation Program for the Prevention and Eradication of Child Commercial Sexual Exploitation and Illegal Trafficking and to the concrete achievement represented by the Inter-American Observatory ANNAObserva (www.annaobserva.org).

3. Ecuador expressed its pleasure at attending another meeting of the Council and joined in the congratulations. It suggested that the IIN’s activities be more widely publicized, having noted that in some cases the other OAS bodies had not taken into account the significant achievements made by the countries and the Institute.

4. El Salvador congratulated and thanked Dr. Víquez, the Director General, and the team. It was interested in increasing the number of beneficiaries but also the number of contributors. It believed that in El Salvador the contributions were underutilized, as was the contribution the country could make to this hemispheric effort.

5. Canada congratulated the Director General and her staff on the enormous effort carried out over the roughly two years leading up to the conclusion of the agreement between CIDA and the OAS, under which a large project entitled “Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Children and Adolescents in the Inter-American System,” was under way. It pointed to the enormous undertaking carried out by the Institute in preparing this proposal and in organizing the XX Pan American Child Congress. Under the excellent leadership of the Director General and the magnificent performance of her staff, all of Canada’s rigorous requirements had been met and the proposal had become a reality with the first meeting of the advisory council, held the previous day. She and her colleagues at CIDA were gratified by the high degree of cooperation and the progress between the IIN and the participating countries, where the pilot projects were to be carried out, and were pleased with the agreements reached. As the project moved forward, in four member states, the Directing Council would be kept up to date, and there would be opportunities for other countries to draw upon the lessons learned. She thanked the Office of the Director General and the Montevideo team once again for their incredible work.

6. Peru joined in the congratulations and underscored the IIN’s efforts in placing priority on three essential aspects of the implementation of public policy on children, by developing implementation and technical support capabilities for the Inter-American Observatory and participation. It also expressed thanks for the technical support to the organization of the XX Pan American Child Congress and the First Pan American Forum on Children.

7. Guatemala thanked the institutions and the IIN for supporting its attendance at this meeting, which allowed it to ratify the agreements at the international level. Guatemala was supporting and implementing all the new strategies 100% to give the necessary follow-up to children’s issues. It especially thanked CIDA and the IIN for their great support, both logistical and otherwise, which had allowed it to attend the meeting, and said it hoped to be able to attend upcoming meetings as well.

On the agenda item “Final report of the 83rd regular meeting of the Directing Council, held on October 15 and 16, 2008, in Ottawa, Canada (CD/doc. 7/09),” it was reported that this document had been sent out in advance and that printed copies were available at the Secretariat. The Plenary had no observations.

Place and date of the 85th regular meeting of the Directing Council:

Ms. Tilza Ares, Alternate Representative of the Dominican Republic to the Directing Council of the IIN and General Manager of the National Council for Children (CONANI), read aloud a note dated September 9, 2009, and signed by Ms. Kirsys Fernández, Secretary of State, Executive President of CONANI, who was Principal Delegate of the Dominican Republic to the Directing Council and its Vice President. That note reiterated to the Director General of the IIN the Dominican Republic’s offer to host the 85th regular meeting of the Directing Council and suggested that it be held in August 2010.

Copies of the notes were distributed in Spanish and English to the delegations present.

The Plenary agreed to the place and date.

A short break followed.

Next, the Director General of the IIN presented the document “Overview of the XX Pan American Child Congress, including the First Pan American Forum on Children” (CD/doc. 8/09) and the executive version of the overall program.

At 12:15 p.m., the President reported that six draft resolutions had been received and proceeded to read them.

She recalled that during the midday recess meetings would be held by the Style Committee, whose members had technical support from the Director of Areas and Projects, Ms. Paulina Fernández Fawaz, and from Mr. Gustavo Ramírez, adviser to the IIN’s legal area, and by the committee on agreements, which would have technical support from Dr. Jorge Valladares, coordinator of the IIN’s legal area.

The session concluded at 2:00 p.m.

SECOND PLENARY SESSIONHELD ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2009

The second plenary session began with the consideration of the draft resolutions.

Draft resolution Nº 1: “Thanks to the Government of Peru for Hosting the 84th Regular Meeting of the Directing Council of the IIN”The draft was presented by the Delegation of Barbados and read aloud by its representative. The President placed it before the Plenary, which adopted it.

Draft resolution Nº 2: “Adoption of the Final Report of the 83rd Regular Meeting of the Directing Council of the IIN”The representative of Canada presented this draft and read it aloud. The Plenary, having been consulted by the President, adopted it.

Draft resolution Nº 3: “Adoption of the Report of the Office of the Director General of the IIN” The Delegation of Uruguay presented and read aloud this draft resolution, which was considered and adopted by the Plenary.

Draft resolution Nº 5: “Place of the 85th Regular Meeting of the Directing Council,” presented by the Delegation of the Dominican RepublicThe President of the Council read the draft aloud and placed it before the Plenary, which adopted it.

A short break was taken while the draft resolution dealing with agreements signed by the Office of the Director General was being translated.

Draft resolution Nº 4: “Agreements Signed by the Office of the Director General of the IIN,” presented by the delegation of Chile, then was distributed.

Dr. Eugenio San Martín, Principal Delegate of Chile to the Directing Council, read aloud the report prepared by the working group charged with reviewing the agreements signed. He reported that separate consideration had been given to the three agreements regarding the organization of the XX Pan American Congress and the agreement concerning the initiative on education for professionals on children’s rights (CRED-PRO). The IIN was congratulated on its activities and recommendations were issued.

The Delegate of Antigua and Barbuda, who sat on that working group, thanked the IIN for its efforts to bring about participation by the Caribbean states in the meetings of the Directing Council and the events. She also thanked the bodies that had so kindly worked with the IIN to that end. She requested that efforts continue to be made to find resources to bring about greater Caribbean participation and also emphasized the importance of involving the Caribbean states to a greater extent in the projects and programs the Institute conducts.

Chile then read aloud draft resolution Nº 4, which was submitted to the Plenary for consideration and adopted.

8


Next to be addressed was draft resolution Nº 6, presented by the Delegation of Colombia, which referred to the involvement and/or use of children by armed organized crime groups.

Dr. Elvira Forero, Delegate of Colombia to the Directing Council, emphasized the organization of the XX Pan American Child Congress and the participation of children, explained the reasons for presenting this draft resolution, and proceeded to read it aloud, clarifying that, in the most recent version, item 2 had been deleted.

Comments to the Plenary on the draft resolution presented by Colombia:

Argentina said its country condemned any group that used children, but it would have to consult its foreign ministry.

The United States thanked the Government of Colombia for presenting this draft resolution and said its Government considered it very important, like Argentina, but that it was not in a position to sign on to the resolution without first coordinating a unified stance among various parts of its Government. The U.S. asked that this draft resolution be presented later, on another occasion.

Venezuela agreed with Argentina and added that, since one of the preambular paragraphs under “considering” said “in Colombia,” it believed this was a circumstance specific to the Republic of Colombia. It agreed that if this only referred to irregular groups, it made more sense to ratify the rejection of children’s participation in any armed conflict. There was another reality, such as Honduras, which now had a de facto government that had been recruiting children to serve in those armies because the status of that government was undefined. It was difficult to take a stand while ignoring the reality in other countries in the Americas, including displaced children, with whom, and with whose families, they had been working in Venezuela. Venezuela suggested that this opportunity be taken to see how the two countries could join forces.

Trinidad and Tobago said that, for the most part, they were representatives of the Ministry of Social Development. They requested that this be channeled through the embassies, so that it would be seen by the ministries of foreign affairs and national security. There were views on how social development should take part in this.

Uruguay, like Argentina and other countries, had the impression that this situation was specific to one country, which pointed to a more global and complex analysis that was beyond its purview. There already existed protocols dealing with armed conflicts. It requested, therefore, that the proposal be withdrawn and presented on another occasion.

Mexico said that perhaps it was very specific, but Mexico believed that Colombia was raising a complex issue, not only recruitment by the armed forces but also for illegal purposes. Mexico mentioned the use of children for illegal crossings over the border between Mexico and the United States. It proposed that the central part be kept, in view of the ever-increasing use of children, and that a recommendation be issued, but framed in a general way.

Colombia said these scenarios must lead to the true path toward the exercise of children’s rights, because attending the meetings represented a great effort on everyone’s part. One way to achieve the Inter-American Observatory on ESCNNA could be an example. A way must be

9


found to prevent the use of children for illegal activities in the countries. Colombia urged that everyone reflect on this and said it was important to make Colombia’s situation known; the world needed to know what the guerrillas were doing in that country--the horror and the atrocities against children. This was an opportunity to fight disinformation on the terrorist activities of the guerrillas in Colombia. The Delegation did not think this meant getting into the international relations area. It proposed forming a committee that would address all illicit activities with children, issue a statement on the situation, and try to stop it, not only in Colombia but in all the countries where similar things were happening.

The President asked Colombia whether it would agree to the formation of a committee that would draft a more comprehensive proposal and Colombia said it would.

Chile believed it was important to issue a clear declaration condemning the use of children but not in very specific terms. Standing idly by was not an option. In each country there were specific situations in which children were being used. As Uruguay had said, this would be a general declaration clearly rejecting the use of children not only in situations outside the law but under any circumstances in which their rights were violated, such as participation in illicit or criminal activities or even violence.

The President said the IIN recognized the issue as one of great concern and would promote the formation of a delegation to draft a document or a resolution on the matter.

In response to the interest expressed by the countries, the committee was formed, consisting of Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and the coordinator of the IIN’s legal area, Dr. Jorge Valladares.

CLOSING SESSION

The session began at 3:40 p.m.

Sitting at the head table were the Minister of Women and Social Development and Principal Delegate of Peru to the Directing Council of the IIN, Ms. Nidia Vílchez Yucra; the President of the Directing Council, Mr. Mario Víquez Jiménez; and the Director General of the IIN, Ms. María de los Dolores Aguilar Marmolejo.

The President recognized Minister Nidia Vílchez Yucra, the Principal Delegate of Peru, who offered a cordial welcome on behalf of the President of the Republic, Dr. Alan García Pérez, and of Dr. Javier Velásquez Quesquén, President of the Council of Ministers. He said they were very pleased by the meeting of adolescents and by this meeting of the Directing Council and hoped their work during these days would be fruitful.

Next, the Director General of the IIN expressed deep appreciation for the comments, recommendations, and observations issued to the Institute, which would serve to strengthen it. The Institute’s strength came from its member states; it would allow them to provide better service. The Office of the Director General was aware of the challenge of working with children and that it should be done in a joint manner and also with the sister nations of the Caribbean.

10


The Director General expressed gratitude for the confidence placed in specific projects and in the Institute, which allowed it to support the states in a more professional way.

Next, the President of the Directing Council thanked Peru. He noted that this had been one of the shortest meetings and that fact had made it even more complicated. Still, he said, consensus had been reached and the work had been expeditious. He deeply thanked the delegates: the Director General for her reports; and the staff of the IIN, who were few but had done an extraordinary job. He then formally closed the 84th regular meeting of the Directing Council of the IIN.
