	Jamaica Gleaner - Chilean is new OAS head - Tuesday \| May 3, 2005
		Insulza said he would strengthen the OAS as it pursues its mission of hemispheric integration, and expressed his hope that "this guiding spirit would lead the member states, as well as the secretariat, to a pragmatic response to the region's current situation, its needs and the demands of its citizens".

		The election for a new OAS secretary general was called after the previous secretary general, Miquel Angel Rodriquez, resigned in October last year after less than a month in office and returned to Costa Rica to face charges he had accepted kickbacks during his 1998-2002 presidency.
