This resolution concerns the presidential elections in Honduras on 30 November 2025, the non-recognition of the outcome by the incumbent administration, and attacks on opposition lawmakers. It condemns political violence and foreign interference, and calls for respect for democratic principles and electoral reforms.

Key points

  1. Repudiates all forms of political violence and encourages political leaders and public officials to promote calm and reject violence.
  2. Emphasises that free elections require full respect for human rights, independent electoral authorities, transparency, oversight and appeal mechanisms, and absence of intimidation and foreign interference; notes many conditions were not respected in Honduras.
  3. Rejects imperialist interventions that undermine democracy in Latin America; condemns US interference in Honduras and recalls historical patterns of intervention through the Monroe Doctrine.
  4. Affirms that the pardon granted to former President Juan Orlando Hernández enables impunity for conservative elites, undermines Honduran justice and sovereignty, and shows Trump's interests are not fighting narcotrafficking.
  5. Insists that any transition must prioritise popular sovereignty and protection of social rights, with reinforced security for members of Congress, journalists, and social movements.
  6. Stresses the urgent need for the new National Congress to prioritise electoral reforms to strengthen institutions, verify inconsistencies, and ensure transparency in future elections.

Who is affected

  • Honduran political leaders, public officials, members of Congress, journalists, and social movements.
