Germany Donates 450k Euros to OAS for Colombia Peace Process
OAS and Germany Sign Agreement to Support the Mission to Support the Peace Process in Colombia
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Organization of American States (OAS) and the Government of Germany today signed a cooperation agreement by which the European country will increase its support for the activities of the Mission to Support the Peace Process in Colombia (MAPP/OAS) with a contribution of 450,000 euros.
The contribution is the latest of several made by the German government to the Mission since 2008. The OAS says the money will go to support the tasks of monitoring and accompaniment of the Mission to the various peace building programs in Colombia.
“With cooperation agreements like this one, the Organization of American States and Germany make an important contribution to the peace process and to the building of an environment favorable to the post-conflict stage, based on the restauration of the social fabric, justice, guarantees of non-repetition, and integral reparations for victims,” said OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza.
