Vibrating in the spirit and content of all the official
8ocuinents that give institutional life to the inter.Ameri.
can system, is the concept that democracy is the base
and foundation Of every member State of the OAS. For
that reason, an antidemOcratic government constitutes
"a countersense in that continental organization, which
has to develop its activities on the solid bases of solidarity
IN Its many aspects, especially on democratic solidarity.
To face the crisis that to the Organization represents
the existence of an antidem0cratic regime, the statesmen
of America, particularly those who one way or another
concern themselves with the fate Of the ideal Of Pan.
americanism, and who have influence within the regional
system, must carefully study the attitude to, be assumed
with regard to any government that is unworthy Of the
democratic confidence of the people. And if there is
any such government that lacks that confidence, it cannot
represent its people in an institution created BY the
t%wenty.one' nations Of America, to be shared by all in
an equal basis.
1t would be very convenient that the Eleventh Inter.
American Conference shortly to convene in Quito, con.
slider and approve the document clearly establishing and
adding to the Charter of Constitution of the GAS, as to
which are the essential conditions that an American gov.
eminent must have in order to be considered as demo.
cratic and, therefore, as meritng a seat at the table Of
the Organization Of American States in representation OF
its people. AT that table should sit the representatives
OF the people, not those who abuse them or, still worse,
those who are their oppressors.
1t is then necessary to define, with prudence but
with rectltude, the democratic quality of the governments,
within the theological concept and the institutional
system that in America has had its maximum expression
in the Organization Of American States.

Under the plan, which al
