international observation mission on the human rights situation in Honduras




share
The OISDHHN answering the call of social organizations and human rights in Honduras this week begin a mission in this country to verify the human rights situation, particularly in the context of the electoral process.

The OISDHHN, as done by the international community, believes that currently there are no conditions for the exercise of political rights in Honduras, so concerned about developments that may arise to suppress a large segment of the population that opposes the coup d'etat and to that election. Accordingly, and following up on previous missions, representatives of CEJIL, FIAN International, the International Human Rights Federation (FIDH) and the Copenhagen Initiative for Central America and Mexico (CIFCA) participate in various meetings with civil society organizations, victims of human rights violations and some state authorities.

The Democratic Charter establishes that "the promotion and protection of human rights is a fundamental condition for the existence of a democratic society", so the OISDHHN remember, as we established the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which the current regime facto has an obligation to ensure human rights fully, including that it must respect the rights of the population have mobilized or speak out against these elections.

The Center shall issue a report of this mission to the United Nations Organization (UNO), the Organization of American States (OAS) and the European Union (EU), are also issued recommendations to the authorities and civil society in Honduras.
