Re: Military Coup in Honduras
Quote:
If they can implement them before January ok. But they will not be justified after January as by then he would be no longer president anyway and a demand to reinstall him then would be against international law. Addition: I tried to follow several links to articles and the honduran constitution regarding necessary moves to depose a president. Eleven links in all and, rather disturbing to my mind, all these links are either blocked or removed. Now I´d be interested to know as to who is quite obviously tryeing to hide or supress whatever info here.

Re: Military Coup in Honduras
well heres an article that speaks to a provision to wit;
According to Article 239: "No citizen who has already served as head of the Executive Branch can be President or Vice-President. Whoever violates this law or proposes its reform [emphasis added], as well as those that support such violation directly or indirectly, will immediately cease in their functions and will be unable to hold any public office for a period of 10 years." A 'coup' in Honduras? Nonsense. | csmonitor.com

Re: Military Coup in Honduras
from a chinese news source, I googled the title; 'Honduran interim gov't announces to quit OAS', and so far they all point back to this source....They may be reading too much into the statement, but with the OAS allowance of say Cuba for instance as a member etc. I am not sure just how balanced the OAS is or has been regards this whole event.
Honduran interim gov't announces to quit OAS TEGUCIGALPA, July 3 (Xinhua) -- Honduras' interim government announced Friday that the country decided to quit from the Organization of American States (OAS). In a letter to the OAS read by Honduras' Vice Minister of International Relations Martha Lorena de Casco, it said "This government believes that inside the organization (of the OAS), there is no room for Honduras, for the states that love its freedom and defend its sovereignty." The reading of the letter was made in presence of Honduran Acting President Roberto Micheletti. Honduras will face freezing of loans from Central American Bank of Economic Integration (CABEI), while other international help and donations can be suspended. The interim government's announcement came after OAS chief Jose Miguel Insulza said in Tegucigalpa Friday that he would recommend the suspension of Honduras from the regional group due to its post-coup rulers' refusal to reinstate ousted President Manuel Zelaya.

Sure Cuba is a member, but so is Colombia and the US of A.

Re: Military Coup in Honduras
I would if there was something objectionable to respond too, I know who the members of the OAS are, care to do anything other than attempt to ride someone else's coattails in an infantile game of gotcha?

Re: Military Coup in Honduras
In a democracy, bad leaders are voted out (and Zelaya was most definitely a lousy leader); not removed extralegally. There was certainly a legitimate separation of powers issue here, and Zelaya seems to have been overstepping his bounds in the sense that only Congress has the power to call referendums, but it should have been brought before a judge.
The irony of all this is that he was quite unpopular and almost certainly would have lost the referendum anyway. Last edited by Strider; 07-04-2009 at 10:30 PM. |

Re: Military Coup in Honduras
This is funny. THe OAS told Honduras to let Zelaya. Honduras said they would withdrawl from the OAS instead. The OAS said they couldnt withdraw because the OAS didnt recognize their govt. THen they kicked HOnduras out. You cant make up this stuff.

I suppose in the end, you guys on the right are always bitching about 'wheres the change?' in the Obama administration. So here it is, the US no longer supports military coups in South America. Thats a big change we can all believe in....except for the Junta's American friends on this thread.
