Declaración de Lima

Nosotros, los representantes de las Asociaciones Profesionales integrantes del Centro Regional América Latina de la Federación Internacional de Traductores (FIT), en el marco del I Encuentro Regional de América Latina en torno a la Traducción y la Interpretación,

Considerando:

Los principios de la Recomendación de Nairobi

Y

La disparidad en el nivel de las carreras formadoras de traductores, intérpretes y terminólogos en los países de la región,

Recomendamos que las autoridades pertinentes aúnen esfuerzos con las asociaciones profesionales de cada país para tomar acciones concretas que permitan subsanar las deficiencias existentes y formar profesionales con un nivel académico de excelencia que responda a las necesidades reales de los usuarios del servicio, y jerarquice y visibilice la profesión.
