OAS Honduras' interim government can't withdraw
WASHINGTON |
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The caretaker government of Honduras cannot withdraw from the Organization of American States because it is not a legitimate government, a senior OAS official said on Saturday.
"Only legitimate governments can withdraw from an entity such as the OAS," said Albert Ramdin, the OAS assistant secretary-general, told reporters before a special OAS meeting on Honduras.
He said the current "regime" in Honduras is not recognized as the country's legitimate government.
The interim rulers of Honduras took power after a coup removed President Manuel Zelaya. They have rejected an OAS demand to restore Zelaya and defiantly renounced the OAS charter in an apparent preemptive move.
