CEVAP:

This organ has two main functions. Firstly, in accordance with the Charter, this organ is to act as a consultation unit. This is a more specific function. The  Meeting of Consultation can be assembled to examine measures in case of an armed attack, aggression other than an armed attack, conflict outside or inside the Hemisphere, or “any other fact or situation that might threaten the peace of America.” The other function is more general: to consider problems of an urgent nature and of common interest to the American States (Berenson, 2001:14).
