Insulza thanked the government of Honduras, represented at the OAS by Ambassador Carlos Sosa Coello, for becoming a party to the hemispheric treaty, which he said “from now on will allow greater agility in the judicial processing of criminal matters.” The Secretary General added that the Inter-American Convention will enable the justice systems of all the states parties to continue to speed up their procedures.
Honduras also acceded to an Optional Protocol related to the same treaty, which governs requests for assistance among states parties in cases involving tax crimes.
In formalizing his country’s accession, Ambassador Sosa noted that Honduras “submits itself once more to the obligations that emanate from inter-American instruments, contributing in this way to the desired goal of universal adherence.” Sosa added that his government believes that the inter-American system has the necessary tools to promote regional cooperation and that it is thus “a responsibility of all the OAS member states to strengthen these mechanisms.”
The Honduran diplomat referred to the interest among Central American countries in strengthening cooperation in security matters, stressing the significance of the agreements they signed at the Summit on Security held in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, in October. The Central American presidents made a commitment to ensure that the “Central American Order of Capture” can enter into effect, Ambassador Sosa said.
With the addition of Honduras, 19 countries have joined the Inter-American Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, which was adopted in Nassau, Bahamas, in 1992. Honduras is the sixth country to accede to the related Optional Protocol, which was adopted in Managua, Nicaragua, in 1993.
