The OAS Commitment to Honduras

In response to the situation in Honduras, where the democratic order was altered after the June 28 coup, the Organization of American States (OAS) condemned the coup and has since led a series of actions aimed at reestablishing democratic and constitutional order in the country, all of them in the framework of resolutions and guidelines set by the Organization’s General Assembly and Permanent Council.
