Clinton: Honduras Should Be Readmitted to OAS
At the annual meeting of the Organization of American States, member nations remain divided over whether to allow Honduras back into the OAS. Honduras was expelled from the body last year after a military coup ousted the democratically elected president Manuel Zelaya.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: "Our ongoing discussions about Honduras makes clear the urgency of this agenda. As we emphasized, when the United States along with the rest of the hemisphere condemned the coup in Honduras, these interruptions of democracy should be completely relegated to the past. And it is a credit to this organization that they have become all but nonexistent in the Americas. Now it is time for the hemisphere, as a whole, to move forward and welcome Honduras back into the inter-American community."
Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, Bolivia and Nicaragua have argued against allowing Honduras to return to the OAS.
