The
Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José
Miguel Insulza, today reafirmed his full condemnation of all terrorist
attacks and renewed the organization’s commitment to the fight against
this scourge, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the largest
terrorist attack in the history of the continent, which occurred in New
York on September 11, 2001.
Insulza reaffirmed the need for the
international community to work together to eradicate this scourge, to
minimize its consequences and to address its causes.
He stressed
that, unfortunately, the phenomenon of terrorism is still happening,
which imposes the obligation to continue fighting it in a permanent,
frontal and decisive way. He also stressed the need to learn the lessons
from a decade of struggle against terrorism, and to work towards the
creation of conditions that hamper the circumstances and motivations
that generate terrorism.
The Secretary General expressed his
condolences to the people and government of the United States and in
particular to the victims and their families and wished that these
events are not repeated ever again, anywhere in the world.
