Junta de Visitantes

The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC) Board of Visitors (BoV) is a Federal Advisory Committee established by Congress under the provisions of Section 343 of Title 10, United States Code (U.S.C.), and the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended).  The law calls for the Board to provide the Secretary of Defense, through the Secretary of the Army, independent advice and recommendations on matters pertaining to the curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, and academic methods of the institute, other matters relating to the institute that the Board decides to consider, and other items that the Secretary of Defense determines appropriate.  The 14-member Board includes representatives from the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, the Department of State, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, U.S. Southern Command, U.S. Northern Command, and six members appointed by the Secretary of Defense, which include, to the extent practicable, persons from academia, religious institutions, and human rights communities.  The Board reviews curriculum to determine whether it adheres to current U.S. doctrine, complies with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, and is consistent with U.S. policy goals toward Latin America and the Caribbean, and to determine whether the instruction under the curriculum appropriately emphasizes human rights, the rule of law, due process, civilian control of the military, and the role of the military in a democratic society.  The Board is required to meet at least once a year.
