DECLARE:
1.
Their most vehement condemnation of terrorism, in all its forms and manifestations,
as they consider it criminal and unjustifiable under any circumstances, regardless of where and by
whom it is committed, and because it constitutes a serious threat to international peace and security
and to the democracy, stability, and prosperity of the countries of the region.
2.
Their firmest commitment to prevent, combat, and eliminate terrorism through the
broadest cooperation possible, in full respect for the sovereignty of the States and compliance with
their obligations under national and international law, including international human rights law,
international humanitarian law, and international refugee law.
3.
Their commitment to adopt measures to strengthen international cooperation
mechanisms, especially at the hemispheric level, including the application of extradition and mutual
legal assistance, as well as the exchange of information, including financial information, in
accordance with domestic law, in order to find, deny safe haven to, and bring to justice any person
who supports, facilitates, participates, or attempts to participate in the financing, planning,
preparation or commission of terrorists acts or provides safe haven.
4.
Their appeal to the Member States that have not yet done so to sign, ratify, or accede
to, as the case may be, and to implement in an effective way, the Inter-American Convention against
Terrorism as well as the pertinent universal legal instruments and resolutions of the United Nations
General Assembly and Security Council.
5.
Their renewed commitment to implement the OAS Comprehensive Inter-American
Strategy to Combat Threats to Cybersecurity, adopted through resolution AG/RES. 2004 (XXXIVO/04).
