CEAL
Asks International Community To Watch For
Agreement's Implementation in Honduras
TEGUCIGALPA - The
Enterprise Council for Latin America (CEAL)
on Sunday asked the international community
to keep a close eye on the implementation of
the political agreement reached in Honduras.
"We hope and trust the international
community will be observant and watch for
both parties to completely fulfill each one
of the points in the agreement," the CEAL
said in a communique.
On Friday, the representatives of Honduras'
de facto Leader Roberto Micheletti and those
of ousted President Manuel Zelaya signed an
agreement for the Honduran Congress to
decide whether Zelaya will be restored to
power.
The Congress will announce its decision
after taking account of the opinion of the
Honduran Supreme Court of Justice, according
to the agreement.
In case of any violation of the agreement,
the CEAL will demand the "U.S. government,
the Organization of American States, the
United Nations and the international
community in general immediately condemn
those actions and demand the fulfillment of
the agreement."
The CEAL hopes the international community
would support the country's elections on
Nov. 29 and recognize election results.
The agreement to settle the political crisis
in Honduras was submitted to Congress on
Friday by the negotiating commissions of the
de facto Honduran government and of ousted
President Manuel Zelaya.
