UN Votes to Reinstate Exiled Former President
June 30, 2009
|
The United Nations in an emergency session voted today to support the reinstatement of the ex-President of Honduras, and called the change of power a "coup", after listening to the former President speak. The UN did not hear any comments from the Court of Justice of Honduras, the Legislator, nor the Honduran Congress.
The current President of Honduras has emphasized the ex-President will be arrested if he is to return to the Country, according to an order of the Court of Honduras. The judicial system has shown over the years in history that it can fight for the Honduran Constitution and remove the President from office if he is not complying with the law. The same would hold true in the United States of America, therefore the Judicial System should have a voice in front of the UN, the OAS, and all international organizations who believe they have a say in the continuing democracy of Honduras. The recent actions in Honduras have been backed by the Supreme Court of Justice of Honduras.
