UN concerned about Honduras unrest

USA: UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, voiced his concern over political unrest in Honduras, and urged conflicting parties to restrain over an upcoming constitutional referendum.

According to the UN chief, Honduran leaders must act in total respect for legality and democratic institutions and achieve consensus through a peaceful dialogue. The message adds that, due to the inexactness of reports from that Central American nation the UN does not foresee being observers in the popular consultations planned for this weekend.

UN General Assembly president, Miguel D Escoto strongly condemned the attempted coup against Honduran president, Manuel Zelaya.

The condemnation of Nicaragua¤s former foreign minister took place after Honduras ambassador to the UN, Jorge Arturo Reina, informed him of the serious threat to state rights in his nation. United Nations, Prensa Latina
