2nd Plenary Meeting, Panama 2003

The Second Plenary Meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Forum of the Americas (FIPA) was held on February 20 and 21, 2003, in Panama City, at the kind invitation of the Legislative Assembly of the Republic of Panama. Ninety parliamentarians from the national legislatures of 18 countries in the Americas participated in this important event (see the list of delegates in Participants).

The main theme for discussion was "Challenges and Opportunities for Hemispheric Integration", which was broached from different angles in three working groups.

The agenda was complemented by presentations from six special guests on subjects of interest to the parliamentarians, i.e. the Summit of the Americas process, the importance of the International Criminal Court, the process of negotiating the FTAA, international cooperation to combat terrorism, the work of the OAS in consolidating the democratic process in the Americas and the scope of the Inter-American Democratic Charter.
