New Report: Honduras Acted Constitutionally

Posted By Ian Vasquez On September 24, 2009 @ 2:51 pm In Foreign Policy and National Security,General,Government and Politics,Law and Civil Liberties | Comments Disabled

A new report [1]by the non-partisan Law Library of Congress now publicly available reviews the legal and constitutional issues surrounding Honduran President Zelaya’s removal from office. The report concludes that both the Supreme Court of Honduras and the Congress acted in full accordance with the constitution in removing the president from power. The study, first reported by Mary O’Grady [2]in the Wall Street Journal this Monday, is consistent with the point she, Juan Carlos Hidalgo [3], and others have made with regard to Washington’s unbelievable policy of undermining Honduras’ rule of law by insisting on Zelaya’s return to power, calling his removal a coup, and otherwise sanctioning the small nation’s Supreme Court by suspending the visas of its justices.
