Thank you, sir.
Regarding the reforms to the penal code, I think there's generally consensus within the human rights community, certainly in Honduras, that the changes are quite regressive in nature. Longer sentencing and harsher sentences aren't considered the best way of dealing with crime. In any regard, the stronger sentencing could be seen as perhaps dissuasive. I don't see how that would be the case when you still have a very high level of impunity. Changing the penal code in this way will have no effect on impunity. It doesn't change the procedures and it doesn't provide any particular additional motivation to investigators from the Public Ministry of Honduras or to the police to apprehend and judicially process criminals. I don't see how there can be really any change in that regard.
In terms of the adoption of an action plan, I think I responded to that point earlier. Where, in fact, this legislation has not yet been approved, it could well be approved very soon. But there's a great deal of concern again within the human rights community in Honduras over the content of that legislation since this new draft that is being debated within the Honduran congress has not actually been seen by them. They have not been consulted, although they were consulted very early on in the drafting process.
Finally, regarding the invitation to the UN, that, I would say, is certainly a positive sort of gesture. We'll see whether the government is actually prepared to follow through on that. It's been a demand for some years of human rights groups in Honduras to have a multilateral presence to support efforts to both reform the police and judiciary, and also to investigate and apprehend crimes that go even into corruption and organized crime, a body similar perhaps to the CICIG in Guatemala, which has had a fairly good record. Even if impunity and the rate of violent crime still remain very high in Guatemala, it is considered to be a positive step forward.
We'll just have to see whether the Honduran government actually follows through with its positive rhetoric in this regard.
