I think it is precisely because there is a lack of political will internally. I think it's because there is not a great deal of observation of the agreements with other countries and whether the terms of those agreements are respected. I think that the Government of Honduras has a historic debt with regard to punishing human rights violators.
In my organization, in COFADEH, if an investigation process had been undertaken, if those responsible for the crimes had been taken to court, and if there had been a process for bringing back the trust of family members, things would be different. That's not the case and there is a debt on the part of the Government of Honduras with regard to prosecuting those responsible for creating victims. That debt is towards the family members of victims. That has created an obstacle to the country's progress and we are caught in a repetitive cycle in which the perpetrators of human rights violations become the ambassadors for the country to other countries.
Those who have committed crimes against humanity in the past are the same ones who were very active in the coup that took place in 2009. That has led to the slew of human rights violations. Today, some of the perpetrators of human rights violations are in key positions, important positions in charge of civilian security and public security. They're within the public authority responsible for people's security.
How can the people have trust in the government when we know that those who perpetrated human rights violations are responsible for protecting them from similar violations? So the government is becoming weaker and less credible, and there has been a movement towards consolidating impunity.
