Celebration of the 80
th
anniversary of the
OAS Retirement and Pension Fund
The Retirement
and Pension Plan of the Organization of American States was conceived
as a means to protect the staff members of the then Pan American Union,
later the Organization of American States, in their old age after
retirement. Created on May 2nd, 1928, the Plan preceded many
of the social achievements of the international civil service community
and even quite a few of the social security programs in the Americas.
As a result of innovations introduced in the course of its 80 years of
operation, the Plan has remained a modern and progressive instrument.
Although initially
established for the benefit of the staff of the OAS General
Secretariat, over the years the staffs of other institutions of the
Inter-American System have been allowed to participate in the Plan
under special agreements. Besides OAS employees, at present employees
of the following institutions also participate actively in the Plan:
the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture(IICA), the
Inter-American Defense Board, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights,
the Tropical Agriculture Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE).
