Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes. Do you mean in the judicial system or in general?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  In the efforts to sanction these kinds?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  It is.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  That's the tragic part about it, because many of the ones who are in government now were part of the conspiracy or the coup, so it is very hard to think that they would change. That's why I think that if there were a new national constitutional assembly, maybe there would be some place for different voices.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  The Truth and Reconciliation Commission report centres on the human rights violation before the coup, not so much after the coup. The focus is different in that way. Also, the investigation is different, because the truth commission, to which I belonged, did extensive gathering of testimonies all around the most critical parts of the country.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes. It was a positive expression or positive move, but in the long run, I don't know how independent they are because congress is pushing it through anyhow.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  The security forces respond to big landowners. Those are the security forces...I mean, they are the ones perpetrating these massacres or killings or threats to the peasants not only in Bajo Aguán but also in the Zacate Grande Peninsula, in the Gulf of Fonseca. It's curious that the model cities…one would include Bajo Aguán and the other one would include the indigenous organizations in the Gulf of Fonseca.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Well, I'm not there, but from the evidence and the complaints about serious human rights violations, and systematic and generalized violations, it seems to point out that this judicial system is not functioning.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  That's right. In this particular case, I think they're going ahead.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I can't say it is in all the cases, but in this case, yes.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I think that the socio-economic and political situation is still in crisis. I think they are looking for some guidance from outside. I don't know. Maybe in the judicial system there could be training to make it more efficient, or there could be something like advisers. Something like that would be very positive.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes, that's true. The truth commission, established by the national Human Rights Platform of Honduras, has recently drawn up a petition or given the information to the international penal court so that some of these crimes will not remain....

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Yes, as I said before, what they see as a more permanent solution would be to draw up a new constitution that would respond to the needs of the majority of the people, which is not the case now. They keep pressing for that. Many times the demonstrations are by, for instance, youth, students, and teachers, but they are very harshly repressed.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I don't know if there has been a pronouncement from the Frente, but I know especially the people of social organizations—and, yes, they make up the Frente—would be worried about the consequences and they would be against them.
