Government continues calling on
Ortega to stop human rights violations

By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

The permanent representative of Costa Rica in Permanent Council of the Organization of American States, Montserrat Solano Carboni, during her speech at the extraordinary session on the situation in Nicaragua that was held on Friday, said that "Costa Rica continues to advocate for a peaceful solution to the crisis in Nicaragua, but the Nicaraguan people are running out of time, patience and hope. Nicaragua and its people need to stop the constant and serious violations of human rights committed by the government."

The report of the General Secretariat of this organization, presented on January 11, presented multiple examples of the violation of the Rule of Law, the violation of democratic order and the absence of a reliable electoral system in Nicaragua.

"The decision of the Government of Nicaragua to persecute human rights defenders, journalists, students, among others, and to expel all international human rights organizations makes it difficult to believe in the will to dialogue," said Carboni

During that extraordinary session of the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States, the organism again called for dialogue in Nicaragua after the protests unleashed in April last year.

"The issues of justice and advancement of elections contemplated at the negotiating table, have not managed to advance 'not a millimeter'", said Luis Angel Rosadilla, representative of the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States in Nicaragua, "we have maintained in the role that corresponds to us, to observe, not to intervene except in organizations, we hope that we will be able to quickly advance in the issues that are still waiting ".

On February 14th, a delegation from the General Secretariat of the Organization of American States was present in Managua at the initiative of the government of Nicaragua with the purpose of holding exploratory talks regarding the situation in the country.

In the context of the corresponding legal mandates and instruments, the delegation of the OAS General Secretariat proposed the release of political prisoners, the need for progress in the electoral process and the importance of considering the recommendations of the Inter-American System, among other aspects.

The positions of the government of Nicaragua on the aforementioned points were received. In this regard, the government of Nicaragua stated that, in its opinion, the detainees have been subjected to the process and announced its intention to strengthen the electoral process by 2021 within the framework of the Constitution and the law.

In this regard, the General Secretariat will wait in the event of being able to continue negotiations within the framework of the agenda proposed by the General Secretariat, and it was agreed to maintain a communication channel for this purpose.

Nicaragua is experiencing a crisis since April 2018 thousands of people took to the streets of the country to protest the changes in the country's social security system. The demonstrations ended up becoming orders for the resignation of President Ortega, who has been in power for 12 years.
