The organization of American States : Report of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development

6 Dec 2013

The Organization of American States (OAS) is the oldest regional organization in the world. It is also the only multilateral organization in the Western Hemisphere of which Canada is a member. The OAS has contributed to many important outcomes in the Americas, particularly with respect to the advancement of hemispheric cooperation, democratic governance, legal norms and human rights. However, it has also grappled with institutional and financial challenges for many years. These long-standing problems are now being further complicated by evolving political dynamics in the region.
