The Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) said today that “the escalation of the institutional and political crisis in Nicaragua threatens the country’s democratic governance, the legitimate exercise of power, and the rule of law, with serious social and economic consequences, both now and in the future, for the people of Nicaragua.”
In a resolution approved by acclamation, the Permanent Council urged “in the strongest possible terms,” that the parties involved in the Nicaraguan crisis enter into a broad and constructive dialogue, respect the mandate of President Enrique Bolaños, and cease “any action that could aggravate the political crisis in Nicaragua.”
The Permanent Council instructed the OAS Secretary General to convey its concern to the parties involved in the dialogue and “to stress the importance of action to maintain the system of democratic institutions and reach agreements that will preserve governance, the rule of law, and the country’s stability, in keeping with the OAS Charter and the Inter-American Democratic Charter.”
It also resolved to follow the unfolding events in Nicaragua and, “should the urgency of the situation so warrant, to convene without delay a special session of the General Assembly, in accordance with the applicable instruments of the Organization of American States.”
Finally, the Permanent Council expressed its support for the work carried out in the last few months in Nicaragua by OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza and his Special Envoy, Dante Caputo.
Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Norman Caldera Cardenal, who attended the session, expressed his appreciation for the support and preventive action taken by the Permanent Council, which is chaired by Ambassador Roberto Alvarez of the Dominican Republic.
