April 14 was chosen because it was the date in 1890 when, by resolution of the <strong>First International American Conference<\/strong> (held in the District of Columbia, between October 1889 and April 1890), the Union of American Republics and its permanent secretariat, the Commercial Office of the American Republics, were created. These gave way to the Pan American Union and finally to the current <strong>Organization of American States (OAS) in 1948.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nHonduras, Guatemala, and Haiti declared April 14th as a national holiday. In these and other nations of the then Pan-American Union, there were diplomatic receptions, public and civil celebrations, programs in schools, and a large number of proclamations promoting the principles of Pan-Americanism.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Banderas.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197471\" width=\"460\" height=\"247\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-himno-de-las-americas\"><strong>Anthem of the Americas<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This hymn is usually sung during the celebrations of this day; its lyrics are attributed to Rodolfo Sciamarella.
