New York, 26 June 2009 - Statement Attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General on the situation in Honduras

The Secretary-General is concerned about the political and institutional tensions in Honduras and urges restraint by all concerned in order to prevent any further escalation. He believes it is important for the country's leaders to act with full respect for the rule of law and democratic institutions, and to seek consensus on the pressing political issues through a peaceful and inclusive dialogue. In light of inaccurate reports which have appeared, the Secretary-General also wishes to clarify that the United Nations does not have plans to conduct an observation exercise in relation to this weekend's planned consultation.
