That is precisely the main conclusion of the Commission, where national and international experts participated: the coup d’état installed an “illegal” government, led by Roberto Micheletti, which lasted until January 2010.

“The commission has recognized what is a violation of the Constitution and all the crimes that were committed against it in Honduras”, said Zelaya, shortly after the report’s results were known.

According to Zelaya, the Commission expressly ratified the main things that the Honduran resistance had been denouncing about the illegality of the de facto regime, although “many important elements” were left outside in the process of the investigation.

The omission is clear: the report does not say anything about the illegitimate elections that took Porfirio Lobo to power, neither does it say anything about human rights violations committed during this sad moment of the Honduras history.

The report, which uses the term “de facto regime” is used to refer to Micheletti’s period, was drafted by the former vice-president of Guatemala, Eduardo Stein, Canadian diplomatic Michael Kergin and Peruvian lawyer Maria Zavala Valladares as representatives of the international community, while one of the Honduran leaders in the commission is the current president of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma, Julieta Castellanos, Prensa Latina reported.

“This is excellent news that they admit there was a coup d’état”. “It is important that other facts are also made public”. “There is no mention of human rights violations”. These are some of the things mentioned by ALER on the assessment of the report submitted on Thursday by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
