I'm very skeptical of that.
I think the biggest pusher, the biggest agent, for an improved human rights situation in Honduras is the social movement itself, starting with the Frente Nacional de Resistencia Popular, the popular resistance front that formed in response to the coup, and the teachers' unions that have been out and protesting and playing a leading role since the coup. These are the forces that have been demanding human rights, and these are the forces that have paid a very dear cost.
I think if you follow what's going on in Honduras, you'll see things that make you question whether Lobo is really committed to human rights. As I mentioned, and as your other witnesses here have mentioned, placing Juan Carlos Bonilla as head of the national police and Arturo Corrales as minister of security, who was an adviser to the Micheletti dictatorship, and the level of impunity, which a number of observers have said—and I agree with them—in fact suggest a policy of the state....
I think the problems there are so deeply entrenched—and they move up the hierarchy—that nothing less than a very profound transformation of the judicial and security system in Honduras could change anything.
Sorry, I'm getting looks from—
