The proposal was turned in with a lack of formality and punctuality

A ten point proposal by the Venezuelan delegation, headed by Delci Eloína Rodríguez Gómez, was unanimously rejected by The General Committee of the Organization of American States (OAS).

Mexican delegation sources said that the rejection was due to the fact that the proposal was turned in with a lack of formality and in an untimely manner.

Among the points in the proposal, the Venezuelan delegation asked for a resolution in the case of the 43 missing students from Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers College in Guerrero, without knowing that the Inter-American Human Rights Commission (CIDH) provides regular reports on this issue.

Many of the attending countries didn’t see any reason to continue discussions, given the fact that Venezuela reiterated it’s resignation from OAS.
