1. Publicada anteriormente con la clasificación AG/ACTA 394/05.- 4José Miguel Insulza (Secretario General de la OEA) Luigi R. Einaudi (Secretario General Adjunto)- 51. Palabras del Gobernador del Estado de Florida El MAESTRO DE CEREMONIAS: This evening’s first speaker is someone who is well known for his interest in the region and for his commitment to the Americas. Ladies and gentlemen, the dynamic Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush. [Aplausos.] El GOBERNADOR DEL ESTADO DE FLORIDA: Mr. Secretary General, Mr. Assistant Secretary General, Madam Secretary, and representatives from throughout the Western Hemisphere, thank you for inviting me here this evening, and thank you for allowing Fort Lauderdale and the State of Florida to host the thirty-fifth regular session of the General Assembly of the Organization of

American States. Damos la bienvenida a todos ustedes. Estamos muy felices de ser responsables de este evento. On behalf of the First Lady of the State of Florida, wherever she may be––oh, there she is over there––and the State of Florida [aplausos] and its 17 million inhabitants, I’m honored to welcome the citizens of the Western Hemisphere and their representatives to the city of Fort Lauderdale and to our state.

welcome the citizens of the Western Hemisphere and their representatives to the city of Fort Lauderdale and to our state. Florida has long served as a meeting place for different cultures from throughout our hemisphere and, indeed, the world. All Floridians share a common bond with our neighbors in the Hemisphere. We all have a stake in promoting and ensuring economic prosperity, social equality, and the democratic values on which we base our most common understanding of life. This year’s meeting will revolve around the theme “Delivering the Benefits of Democracy.” This is an idea that stirs strong feelings in all Floridians when we look toward the horizon to the Americas. Strengthening democracy and its institutions throughout the Hemisphere is extremely important, and we are fortunate to have Secretary General Insulza at the helm of the Organization of American States. Time and time again, he has proven himself a leader in upholding the democratic principles outlined in the Inter-American Democratic Charter. I have traveled throughout many of the countries represented in the room today, from Canada to Colombia. I can attest to the progress that the Western Hemisphere has made toward overall democracy in our region. We must continue to ensure that the benefits of democracy are realized for the over eight hundred million citizens that make up our part of the world. I applaud the Organization of American States for becoming a leading protector of democratic principles in the Americas. Geographically, Florida is an important and vital link between the North American continent, Latin America, and the Caribbean. We are proud to have one foot firmly established in the United States of America and one foot in the rest of the Americas. We are proud to be a gateway that links North America and South America to Central America and the Caribbean.- 6Culturally, Florida has taken on the role of a true melting pot. As the “Gateway to the Americas,” our state has become the beating heart of the Western Hemisphere, hosting many meetings and forums to discuss the future of our region.

Culturally, Florida has taken on the role of a true melting pot. As the “Gateway to the Americas,” our state has become the beating heart of the Western Hemisphere, hosting many meetings and forums to discuss the future of our region. This regular session of the General Assembly represents the pinnacle of a decade of Florida’s role in hosting important meetings. These meetings have helped set a tone and establish a plan for the progress of our shared interests. The very first Summit of the Americas was held in Florida in 1994. This marked a watershed in the promotion of democratic values in the Western Hemisphere. In 2003, Florida hosted representatives from throughout the Americas to set the stage for regional integration to move forward the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) Agreement. This was a significant moment in the fostering of closer ties with the nations of the Hemisphere. During the meeting, the United States embarked upon the U.S.-Andean Free Trade Agreement. It was here in Florida that the U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement (FTA) was signed, which has since led to stronger economic, cultural, and social ties between the two nations. In August of last year, Florida hosted the fourth round of negotiations for the U.S.-Panama Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Almost a year ago, Florida was in the midst of one of the worst hurricane seasons in recorded history. Floridians experienced many adversities during that period that challenged our state in many ways. Trust me, four hurricanes hitting a state in one hurricane season is enough for any governor. In the aftermath and an unprecedented recovery effort, a remarkable thing occurred, something that reinforced, in my mind and the minds of many in this state, our undeniable bond with our close hemispheric neighbors. First, individuals and institutions from throughout the Hemisphere came to Florida’s aid, for which we will always, always be grateful. In addition, Floridians emerged from their rain-soaked and wind-blown neighborhoods to reach out to their neighbors throughout the Caribbean. By the

First, individuals and institutions from throughout the Hemisphere came to Florida’s aid, for which we will always, always be grateful. In addition, Floridians emerged from their rain-soaked and wind-blown neighborhoods to reach out to their neighbors throughout the Caribbean. By the truckload, Floridians donated an array of relief supplies destined for the hardest hit regions in The Bahamas, Grenada, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti. I believe that those efforts to send aid to people they had never met, even as they were in the middle of rebuilding their own lives, demonstrated one of the most visible testaments to inter-American cooperation. Florida’s “Gateway to the Americas” status brings great responsibility. This is why we are doing our part to assist our neighbors through organizations like the Florida Association for Volunteer Action in the Caribbean and the Americas (FAVACA) and the Americas Humanitarian Logistics Relief Team. The relief team is a public-private partnership dedicated to bringing relief to those areas affected by last year’s storms, and whatever national disaster may come, you can rest assured that this organization will be there to lend a hand. Florida remains at the forefront of the inter-American system, as our relationships are not just about merchandise trade, but about neighbors helping neighbors.- 7In January of this year, I went with Secretary Colin Powell to Southeast Asia to make an assessment and get a first-hand account of the devastation caused by the powerful tsunamis that struck the region. I witnessed the incredible destruction caused by this catastrophic natural event. I also saw a lack of collaborative planning between the nations of that region to begin a recovery and rebuilding effort. This reaffirmed, in my eyes, how important an institution like the Organization of American States is to the welfare of the Western Hemisphere. Florida is home to the largest Haitian-American community in the United States. Many of these people fled political and social disarray in their home country and settled in Florida, seeking a better life, and have made a huge contribution to our state. In July of last year, I created the Governor’s Haiti Advisory Group, comprised of prominent members of Florida’s Haitian-American

these people fled political and social disarray in their home country and settled in Florida, seeking a better life, and have made a huge contribution to our state. In July of last year, I created the Governor’s Haiti Advisory Group, comprised of prominent members of Florida’s Haitian-American community and individuals with extensive experience in the country. This group provided recommendations to assist Haiti during this critical time in the country’s history. The Group members’ leadership, perspective, and expertise on Haiti serve as a guide to the State of Florida as we look to help the Haitian people reclaim their future. Democratic values, while inherent in the history and culture of the Haitian people, are under severe threat. We need to turn our attention to aiding the small island nation rather than allowing it to succumb to the perils of crime, poverty, and environmental degradation. We must all work together to achieve a truly democratic hemisphere, one that fosters a spirit of cooperation among its constituent nations. This idea was first promoted in 1890 during the early stages of the Organization of American States. It was later solidified by the Inter-American Democratic Charter. The continued growth and expansion of democratic principles and economic prosperity are imperative for our common future. I commend the OAS for accepting the leading role in pursuing this crucial mission. I wish you all the best, and I particularly wish Secretary General Insulza Godspeed in his new, challenging opportunity to improve the human condition of the 800 million citizens of the area. I would like to thank the city of Fort Lauderdale and the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau for all the support they have provided to the U.S. Department of State and the Organization of American States. Bienvenidos todos. Gracias. [Aplausos.] El MAESTRO DE CEREMONIAS: Thank you, Governor Bush, for your welcoming remarks.

2. Palabras del Secretario General Adjunto El MAESTRO DE CEREMONIAS: Our next speaker has served the Organization of American States with distinction as Assistant Secretary General and Acting Secretary General.- 8Ladies and gentlemen, the respected multi lateras of the Americas, Assistant Secretary General Luigi Einaudi. [Aplausos.] El SECRETARIO GENERAL ADJUNTO: Secretary Rice, Governor Bush, thank you for welcoming the Organization of American States to the United States and the great State of Florida.

Ministers, Secretary General Insulza, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for giving me this opportunity to conclude my service as Assistant Secretary General to the Organization by reporting to you. My message tonight is very simple. For all of us in this room, the opportunity to build in this hemisphere a strategic foundation based on democracy and, therefore, simultaneously open to the world and beneficial to the peoples of the Americas has never been better. The first reason is political. The last time the United States hosted the General Assembly was in Atlanta in 1974. At that time, South America was run largely by dictators, Cuba had already completed 15 years under Fidel Castro, and most of the Caribbean and Canada had yet to become members of the OAS. Today, with the important continuing exception of Cuba and a few recent stumbles elsewhere, the Hemisphere has become democratic. The days of colonialism and military dictatorship are long past. Now it is true that after 15 years of democracy, the results are less than hoped for. Our democratic claims and continuing aspirations are still mocked by injustice, poverty, impunity from justice, ignorance, and the violence and instability they engender.

dictatorship are long past. Now it is true that after 15 years of democracy, the results are less than hoped for. Our democratic claims and continuing aspirations are still mocked by injustice, poverty, impunity from justice, ignorance, and the violence and instability they engender. Despite these obstacles, since 1991, a regional jurisprudence of democracy has begun to take shape. Much of it was codified in 2001 in the Inter-American Democratic Charter. Many ambig
