OAS SECRETARY GENERAL CONDEMNS HONDURAN AUTHORITIES’ DECISION TO FORBID ENTRANCE OF OAS HIGH OFFICIALS INTO THE COUNTRY
September 27, 2009
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today condemned the decision taken by Honduran authorities of the de facto Government to forbid entrance into the country to a delegation of OAS high officials whose main objective was to pave the way for the visit to Tegucigalpa of a Mission composed of the head of the OAS and of Ministers of Foreign Relations of various regional countries.
“We lament this decision and consider it incomprehensible, since it was the very same de facto Government of Honduras that had agreed to the visit of the Mission of Foreign Ministers as well as to the OAS delegation whose objective was to prepare for it,” said Secretary General Insulza.
“Actions like those taken today by the Honduran authorities of the de facto regime seriously hamper efforts to promote social peace in Honduras and to find solutions to the current political conflict based on dialogue and national reconciliation,” said the head of the topmost hemispheric body. “I will inform the Permanent Council tomorrow, so that it may decide on the Organization’s future actions,” Insulza added.
Nevertheless, the Secretary General affirmed that the OAS will remain committed to “the search for a peaceful solution to the crisis that currently affects the Honduran people.”
