UPDATE 1-UN assembly urges states to recognize only Zelaya
(Adds details)
UNITED NATIONS, June 30 (Reuters) - The U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday called on its 192 member states to recognize only the government of ousted President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras, and no other.
The Honduran military flew Zelaya out of the country on Sunday amid a dispute over his bid to let presidents in the Central American country serve more than one four-year term. The Honduran Congress named Roberto Micheletti as caretaker president.
A General Assembly resolution passed by consensus condemned what it called a coup d'etat and demanded "the immediate and unconditional restoration of the legitimate and constitutional government" of Zelaya.
It said the assembly "decides to call firmly and categorically on all states to recognize no government other than that" of Zelaya.
The resolution was co-sponsored by a group of Latin American and Caribbean states joined by several others including the United States.
The resolution was watered down from an earlier draft that said the assembly itself "decides to recognize no government other than that" of Zelaya, rather than the slighter weaker version calling on member states to recognize only Zelaya's government.
General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding, unlike those of the U.N. Security Council.
