Honduras Pulls Out from OAS
Washington - The
Organization of American States (OAS) has
decided to suspend immediately Honduras from
the entity, as a consequence of the military
coup d''Etat against Constitutional
President Manuel Zelaya.
In a special meeting of the institution's
General Assembly held Saturday in this
capital, the member states approved with 33
votes for, all except Honduras, the
suspension of the Central American country.
The text states that faced with the decision
of the regime emerged from the coup d'Etat
of rejecting the OAS ultimatum, the
organization decided to pull out Honduras,
in accordance with the Inter-American
Democratic Letter's article 21.
The document calls OAS general secretary
Jose Miguel Insulza to reactivate
negotiations to restore the democratic order
in that nation.
The accord does not clarify those talks
won't imply recognition to the coupists,
while exhort international community to
review links with the de facto government.
The suspension does not imply Honduras
evades its responsibilities, especially on
human rights, the text stressed.
Insulza said shortly before that the
decision by coup leaders of withdrawing from
the OAS has no effect, as it is an executive
without international recognition. |
