Fri 2023-09-22 11:02 Twenty-Second Anniversary of the Adoption of the Inter-American Democratic Charter and the OAS Democratic Charter Volunteer Group hile democracy has made progress in the Americas since the adoption of the Democratic Charter, we cannot ignore the current challenges it faces, including political polarization, corruption, disinformation, and transnational organized crime. To address these challenges, the United States is firmly committed to joint efforts through the Organization of American States and joint follow-up on commitments adopted at the Ninth Summit of the Americas, hosted by President Biden in Los Angeles in June 2022. We celebrate the important step taken this week to advance the creation of the new Voluntary Group of OAS Member States to support follow-up to the Inter-American Democratic Charter, as determined by the OAS General Assembly of June 2023. This important new effort will serve to strengthen regional democracies, combat threats to democratic institutions and improve the application and use of the Democratic Charter. Through our participation in the Voluntary Group, the United States will work to engage all interested OAS member states to support this open and collaborative effort. Only by working together with transparency and mutual respect can the Democratic Charter continue to serve as an indispensable tool for strengthening inclusive democracy in the Americas.
