A Conversation with the Secretary General of the Organization of American States Luis Almagro. The NYU Brademas Center and NYU Washington, DC co-hosted a discussion with Secretary General of the Organization of American States Luis Almagro. This conversation focused on the essential role of the international community in helping to strengthen democracy in the Americas. The discussion also covered the outlook on crucial issues that are directly affecting the hemisphere such as the state of affairs in Cuba, the political crisis in Venezuela and Nicaragua, among others. Geovanny Vicente Romero, Founder, Dominican Republic Center of Public Policy, Leadership and Development (CPDL-RD) and writer for CNN, moderated the conversation.

The resilience of indecency in politics is why the #Americas<\/a> is still home to 15 of the 20 most violent cities in the world, why corruption is deep rooted in society, and why nothing is done to fix extreme poverty and but much is done to keep the powerful in their top echelons. pic.twitter.com\/F66FeEA5bs<\/a><\/p>\n
