Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador proposed on Saturday replacing the Washington-based Organization of American States with what he called a more independent institution.
“The substitution of the OAS can’t be ruled out for a truly autonomous organization -- not a servant to anyone, but a mediator,” Lopez Obrador, commonly known as AMLO, said in remarks at the annual summit for the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States.
