Honduras Should Win at the UN
ByReaders may remember that Zelaya reentered Honduras last month and established his home base at the Brazilian Embassy. Brazil has very foolishly allowed him to use their embassy as insurrection HQ. Not only does Zelaya look like a fool now but Brazilian prestige has taken a big hit both because of their de facto endorsement of Zelaya’s dangerous antics and their unwillingness to grant him asylum and be done with it.
Reuters is reporting that Honduras has filed suit against Brazil seeking damages and asked that it be expedited. This is the UN of course, so anything is possible, but Honduras should win this one hands down. Brazil has added to the circus-like atmosphere by letting Zelaya manage his pep rallies from the embassy. They should either have the courage of the Chavez/Castro regime and overtly undermine the Honduran government, or they should have the self-respect to withdraw and apologize. Regrettably, it appears the most populous nation in the region isn’t ready for prime time.

"Honduras has filed suit against Brazil"
Honduras? Cual Honduras? La gente? o el gobierno? Porque el gobierno electo democraticamente "by the people, for the people" para que entendas, no ha demandado a Brasil.
Pero como dice la señora de arriba, tu ideologia te esta haciendo ver fantamas…

Was there ever any doubt?

The "JUNTA" has no way to force the UN or any other organization to recognize its dictatorship, much less to accept a laughable legal proceeding.
Such a waist of time and resources, just what they want.

It wasn't a compliment.

From what I read, they filed a case with the International Court in the Hague. It's still not clear to me just what legal violation they're claiming. But I'm surprised lending any support to international law and the court.
