HAVING RECEIVED a request for assistance from the Government of the
Republic of Honduras pursuant to Article 17 of the Inter-American
Democratic Charter;
HAVING HEARD the presentation by the Permanent Representative of
Honduras on the current situation in his country;
CONCERNED that recent events in the Republic of Honduras may jeopardize
the democratic political institutional process and the legitimate

democratic system of the member states within the framework of the
Charter of the Organization of American States and the Inter-American
Democratic Charter,

of Honduras to provide support to preserve and strengthen the democratic
institutions of the country, within the framework of the rule of law.
2. To call upon all political and social actors involved to ensure that

the constitutional order and of social peace that might impair peaceful
coexistence among Hondurans.

Commission to visit Honduras as a matter of urgency, with a view to
analyzing the facts and contributing to broad national dialogue aimed at
finding democratic solutions to the current situation, and to report
