The Parlatino meeting in Aruba is bringing parliamentary representatives from across Latin America and the Caribbean to the island for sessions on Thursday and Friday.
The gathering is one of the organization’s regional sessions and marks a comparatively rare occasion when the meeting is held in Aruba.
Regional body connects 23 member countries
Parlatino, formally the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament, was founded in Lima in 1964 and has maintained its headquarters in Panama City since 2008. It serves as a forum for cooperation and integration.
The organization addresses education, health, the environment, technology, democracy, human rights and social justice. Its decisions and model laws are recommendations rather than binding legislation.
Aruba participates through its own delegation
Aruba and Curaçao participate with their own delegations. Member parliaments may send up to 12 representatives, while a Caribbean-focused commission gives the region a dedicated channel.
The source did not publish a detailed committee agenda or list of attending delegates. The Parlatino meeting in Aruba was reported by 24ora.
