OAS: Meeting in Saint Lucia
IP
The 11th OAS General Assembly meeting opens today
in Saint Lucia with basic questions regarding administra-
tive and financial reforms high on the agenda. The large
states want to cut back the OAS's burgeoning staff and
introduce needed economies. The smaller states are the
principal beneficiaries of the OAS's cooperation programs
and the current financial arrangements, and they oppose
any trimming. They constitute the majority, and they
have continued to vote budget increases that have out-
stripped the willingness of the larger countries to pay.
At best, agreement is likely to be reached over a pro-
longed period of gradual change.
Issues likely to be discussed include open member-
ship--Venezuela and Guatemala oppose the admission of
Guyana and Belize, respectively--maritime and border
problems, human rights resolutions, and nonintervention
in the affairs of other states. The latter issue could
be used as a wedge to open debate on El Salvador.
