Democracy, the Rule of Law, and Human Rights
We applaud the achievement in the region of peace with harmony, mutual cooperation, and full
respect, for human rights. The end of internal conflicts in Central America has opened the way to
reconciliation and the establishment of just, equitable societies that provide better opportunities
for our peoples.
At this time of challenge and renewal, we reaffirm our commitment to continue the process of
profound transformation, meeting the needs of our pluralistic democracies, based on strict
respect for human rights, the effectiveness of the rule of law, mutual respect, the strengthening of
local governments, and a more equitable and participatory civil society. We will continue doing
our utmost to achieve economic well-being and the comprehensive development of our
countries, and to preserve social peace, progress, and stability. We will also continue observing
and promoting the rights of workers, including the elimination of any exploitative forms of child
labor in accordance with our respective Constitutions and with the Conventions of the
International Labor Organization, as respectively ratified by our governments. In addition,
working together within the Summit of the America’s process and the Organization of American
States, we will endeavor to strengthen democracy and to increase prosperity throughout the
Hemisphere.
