EMPHASIZING the amendments made to the Charter of the Organization of American

development and, in particular, helping to eliminate extreme poverty (Protocol of Managua); and
CONSIDERING that as of the date of this resolution there are still member states that have
not ratified the Protocol of Managua,

1.
To urge the member states that have signed and not ratified the Protocol of
Washington, which incorporates the elimination of extreme poverty as a basic objective of
development, and the Protocol of Managua, which establishes the Inter-American Council for Integral
Development (CIDI), to consider doing so as soon as possible.
2.
To extend the period during which its resolution AG/RES. 2 (XXII-E/96),
“Participation of Member States That Have Not Ratified the Protocol of Managua in the InterAmerican Council for Integral Development (CIDI) When Said Protocol Enters into Force,” will
remain in force until the next regular session of the General Assembly, which will review the
situation if at that time there are still member states that have not ratified the Protocol of Managua.
