While in Cartagena and Caracas important decisions regarding the future of Honduras, further negotiations are hermetically, behind the village and apparently without giving due importance to the issue of human rights.
seems that those who negotiated the return of Honduras to the OAS constraints have limited the regime of Lobo Sosa only the unconditional and safe return of former President Zelaya Rosales, relegating to the background one of the crucial issues out of political crisis generated by the coup: The end of human rights violations and impunity.
Interestingly, the States participating in this dialogue are Colombia, Venezuela and Honduras, who along with Cuba, are part of a sinister list published in the 2010 Annual Report of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, because their practices on human rights of particular concern to the international community.
Regarding Colombia, the annual report states that illegal armed groups continue to be involved in the commission of crimes, with respect to Venezuela, the report raised the situation of freedom of thought and expression, lack of independence of the judiciary and the situation violence in prisons.
Regarding Honduras, the report identifies a number of structural issues in justice, security, marginalization and discrimination that have affected human rights for decades, and which had intensified after the coup. The report denounces murders, harassment and threats against defenders of human rights and other social leaders, harassment and persecution of judges and magistrates, violations of the right to freedom of expression, among others.
Under this scenario, and with these players, would not be surprising that human rights are sacrificed on the altar of political negotiations, however, reports such as the Inter-American Commission serves to denounce the lack of legitimacy of those actions, agreements and decisions have no basis, respect for human dignity, in particular the dignity of victims.
