Human Rights Forum
The Human Rights Forum held in Honduras aimed to seek consensus and improve the actions implemented with the purpose of enhancing compliance with human rights. The event was attended by the Secretary of State in the Office of National Defense, the National Commissioner for Human Rights, the Ambassador of the United States of America, officers of the Armed Forces of the Southern Command of the United States, and representatives from the civil society. This Forum took place at a time when civil society was against the implementation of governmental programs with the direct participation of the military, such as the Guardianship of the Homeland Program - designed for young people at risk. The US Ambassador urged both the government and civil society to find a consensus regarding these issues.
