Description

On June 28th, the Honduran Supreme Court decided for the destitution of Manuel Zelaya from his seat as a president, finding that he would have breached the Constitution by, inter alia, seeking a plebiscite so as to consult the population on the convening of a constituent assembly to modify the Constitution (see Corte Suprema de Justicia 2009). The Court ordered the Army to enforce its ruling and what followed was not only a forced deposition of Zelaya from his seat but also his expulsion from the country. The presidency has been temporarily occupied by Roberto Micheletti, the head of the Congress, pursuant to a constitutional rule that, in the absence of the president and the vice-president--Elvin Santos renounced his seat as vice-president in December 2008--the head of Congress should assume the presidency. Forbidden to come back to Honduras, Zelaya sneaked back into the country on September 21 and found shelter within the Brazilian embassy. The deposition had immediate international consequences, becoming an international dispute as the new government failed in obtaining the recognition of the international community and as the crisis proved able to divide the same community. Indeed, despite its formal compliance with the Constitution, the deposition was considered a coup d'etat by all states, the UN, the OAS etc., in a clear, rare application of the Tobar doctrine. At the same time, the polarization of the internal forces, with one side upholding the constitutionality of the deposition, and the other denying it, was exported to some states, such as Brazil and the United States. Note that the international community, including the US and Brazil, stayed in line with the conciliation plan (the pact of San Jose) put forward by the President of Costa Rica, providing inter alia for the restitution of Zelaya. Nevertheless, inside Brazil and the US, the opposition to the official policy towards Honduras became stronger by the date (Sheridan 2009). Rumors that the US would finally be contemplating the realization of the elections without Zelaya indicated the potential that the crisis has to "divide the hemisphere" (see Marreiro e Maisonnave 2009).
