OAS Secretary General Travels to Honduras to Attend Presentation of Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report
July 6, 2011
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, traveled to Honduras today to participate in tomorrow’s presentation in Tegucigalpa of the report by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (CVR, for its acronym in Spanish) that investigated the events surrounding the coup d’état that deposed President José Manuel Zelaya on June 28, 2009.
The head of the OAS will meet with the President of Honduras, Porfirio Lobo, during his stay. Secretary General Insulza also will hold meetings with former President Zelaya and diplomatic representatives.
The CVR was created with OAS oversight with the objective of “shedding light on the events that took place before and after June 28, 2009, with the goal of identifying the actions that led to the situation of crisis and providing the people of Honduras a way to avoid such acts in the future.” The Commission, established by decree in April 2010 by President Lobo, met the terms contained in the Tegucigalpa-San José Accord of October 2009.
The CVR is presided by Eduardo Stein, former Vice President of Guatemala, and integrated by Ambassador María Zavala, former Minister of Justice of Peru and former Permanent Representative of Peru to the OAS; the Canadian Ambassador Michael Kergin; the Rector of the National Autonomous University of Honduras, Julieta Castellanos; and Jorge Omar Casco, former rector of the same University.
