"In view of the inconsistencies and irregularities identified in the report of the Secretary General's credentials to the General Assembly, which lack a legal basis and run counter to the founding documents of the OAS , Mexico reserves the right to question the validity all acts and decisions emanating from the General Assembly of the OAS , the Permanent Council or any subsidiary body of the organization or affecting other organisms.
