Nicaragua: At OAS, the government rejected “sanctions or unilateral action” against the Daniel Ortega regime

Government of Alberto Fernandez Today the side of the supporting countries turned The reign of Daniel Ortega, Who fabricated past elections and imprisoned key political opponents. At the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States, Argentine Ambassador Carlos Raimundi said today that Gaza is Rosada. “Refuses to use sanctions and unilateral measures” In the face of human rights violations confirmed by international organizations.

“Argentina rejects the idea of ​​using sanctions or unilateral measures All they achieve is to create an environment in which tensions can escalate and harm the condition of citizens, in an attempt to justify a major external intervention. We prioritize diplomatic efforts and dialogue,We recommend rebuilding communication channels with Nicaraguan authorities so that we make full use of their sovereignty, It is possible at the same time to achieve full compliance with human rightsSaid the officer.

Raimundi’s speech thus failed, as the Alberto Fernandes administration seemed to have taken on November 13 last year when it voted on a resolution calling into question the legitimacy of the elections at the OAS General Assembly and calling for a debate within the Standing Commission. “Appropriate Actions” Against a regime that has imprisoned enemies in Nicaragua for decades and retained all-encompassing power.

The proposal was supported by a number of democracies in the United States and the region, including OAS Secretary-General Luis Almagro, who approved the proposal. Argentina with Argentina (United States, Canada, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Uruguay, El Salvador, Granada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago)Representation is in the hands of Juan Quito), Antigua and Barbados, Dominica, Barbuda and the Dominican Republic appeared This means a restructuring of foreign policy. Andrés López Obrador (AMLO) was with him without a vote Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Honduras, Belize and Bolivia line up. Maduro’s sending oil, intelligence provided by Cuba or all countries that rely on the power relations they have with Russia and China.

Draft resolution Tuesday, November 30 was set as the deadline for taking “appropriate action” against Nicaragua. For implementing an electoral farce that would benefit Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega. He proposes to make a permanent council “Immediate joint assessment of the situation (Nicaraguan) in accordance with the Constitution of the United States of America and the Inter-American Democratic Charter.”

In this context, the Argentine Ambassador to the OAS began his speech with the following words: “Argentina appreciates reading the statements of the Inter-American Commission and Delegates to avoid any further misinterpretation as may have occurred to me on another occasion. Despite partial recognition, despite our mutual criticism, disagreements, and tense meetings with the Commission, we reaffirm our commitment to the American system of human rights and the international human rights community. “

“We are concerned about the situation of those arrested in Nicaragua, other alternatives, our votes in international organizations and the advice of our ambassador., Which has already returned to the capital of Nicaragua. Since our visit to Argentina in 1979 and before, our commitment to the organization of the United States could not have been any different. In place Of the US-US Commission on Public Law on What Happens to Human Rights in Our Country. From that moment on, Argentina developed its unwavering commitment to the United States and the international community.”He continued.

However, that statement contradicts what happened because his statement was consistent with countries that support the Chandinista regime, which violates human rights.

“We always believe that the reports in that area have a more complete and more accurate panorama, which affects the situation of the people, the media and the climate better than reports made from outside, but It relates to the sovereign decisions of each state“It simply came to our notice then.

Commenting on this, Raimundi said, “Respecting the sovereignty of each state is one thing and doing nothing to move a state on the path of isolation from the international community is another. We must dedicate ourselves to the American community and the international community. However, we believe that this system is not effective in this matter because we have important statements and cases of judicial harassment of opposition leaders.… As happened in Bolivia we had a government representative sitting on this council since the coup, but they did not proceed with the same vigor.

Following this controversial comparison, the Argentine ambassador once again targeted Kirchnerism’s favorite secretary-general, Luis Almagro, over Bolivia’s presence in the OAS following the resignation of Evo Morales. “I want to make it very clear to avoid any misinterpretation: I do not defend the Nicaraguan government, I present an important situation for the current leadership of the OAS, which does not show sufficient impartiality, which undermines its legitimacy, because instead of doing everything the states can do in the inter-state system, It led them to express their desire not to get involved, and this reveals a profound futility.

Finally, after a confusing turn of accusing countries condemning human rights abuses in Nicaragua of being responsible for imprisoning opponents of the Daniel Ordega regime, violating basic guarantees and resorting to violence against its people, Raimundi rejected Argentina’s idea. The use of sanctions or unilateral measures “and the international community to allow Nicaragua to continue its abuses of” full exercise of its sovereignty “.
