Insulza Invites Zelaya to Speak to OAS Again

Disgusting. Insulza has invited Zelaya to address the OAS again. This clearly shows how unwilling Insulza is to change his views, and reveals this week’s OAS chancellors misison as a meaningless charade.
Nevertheless, in his report before the OAS today, he at least expressed understanding of the single unacceptable clause in the San Jose Accord: the return of Zelaya as president. “No one we spoke with was neutral or in favor of this” he said. He also remarked that Micheletti’s view was that Zelaya was no longer president when he was exiled to Costa Rica, and his admission of this as the wrong thing to do.

From the OAS charter:
Chapter 1 Article 1:
The Organization of American States has no powers other than those expressly conferred upon it by this Charter, none of whose provisions authorizes it to intervene in matters that are within the internal jurisdiction of the Member States.
Chapter 1 Article 2:
b) To promote and consolidate representative democracy, with due respect for the principle of nonintervention.
Chapter 2 Article 3:
e) Every State has the right to choose, without external interference, its political, economic, and social system and to organize itself in the way best suited to it, and has the duty to abstain from intervening in the affairs of another State. Subject to the foregoing, the American States shall cooperate fully among themselves, independently of the nature of their political, economic, and social systems.
Chapter 3 Article 19
No State or group of States has the right to intervene, directly or indirectly, for any reason whatever, in the internal or external affairs of any other State. The foregoing principle prohibits not only armed force but also any other form of interference or attempted threat against the personality of the State or against its political, economic, and cultural elements.
What part of "KEEP OUT OF OUR INTERNAL AFFAIRS!" does the OAS not understand?
Thanks anonymous…we should mass email this to all the OAS members. Any hackers reading this?
