Tegucigalpa – Ana María Calderón, former spokesperson for the Honduran Support Group against Corruption and Impunity (MACCIH), expressed concern about the future of the International Commission against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras (CICIH), following the recent condemnation of the extradition treaty with the United States, the Honduran government.
“To be honest, CICIH would not come to Honduras,” said Calderón, stressing that the action sends a clear message of unwillingness to cooperate in the fight against organized crime and corruption.
International law expert Calderon stressed that the Honduran government’s decision to abolish the extradition treaty marked a major setback for global efforts to combat crime.
“Unfortunately, the message that Honduras is sending is that there is no willingness to work with other countries to fight organized crime and corruption,” he said.
The former official added that in an increasingly globalized world, countries are committed to breaking down barriers and effectively fighting transnational crime, and condemning the treaty could be interpreted as an attempt to isolate themselves.
Calderón also warned that the country is entering a pre-election phase, which further complicates the possibility of CICIH being established in Honduras. “The door to installing CICIH is definitely closed,” he concluded.pound
