Honduras leaves OAS after body decries coup
The Associated Press , Tegucigalpa | Sat, 07/04/2009 1:59 PM | World
Honduras will no longer recognize the Organization of American States charter, claiming the diplomatic body attempted to impose "unilateral and indignant resolutions" on a new government that took power in a coup.The move means Honduras will leave the OAS and not face sanctions for the military uprising that toppled democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya on June 28. The OAS had been expected to suspend Honduras' membership.
In a note to OAS Secretary-General Jose Miguel Insulza read on television Friday night, Honduran President Roberto Micheletti said "the OAS is a political organization, not a court, and it can't judge us."
Micheletti was made head of state by Congress after soldiers took Zelaya from his home at gunpoint and flew him into forced exile.
