The FEDERATION OF CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE OF THE CENTRAL AMERICAN ISTHMUS (FEDERACIÓN DE CÁMARAS DE COMERCIO DEL ISTMO CENTROAMERICANO
(FECAMCO), which is constituted by 11 Chambers of Commerce, and in representation of more than 39 thousand companies in the region, all the way from Belize down to Panama and including Dominican Republic and Colombia, hereby express their concern in view of the current political problems being live by the Republic of Honduras.
True to our mission, which is to ensure that the most vital democratic principles are being enforced, such as respect of the jurisprudence established in each one of our countries to guarantee the fundamental rights of all human beings, economic growth and common wellbeing, we regret that the countless violations of the Rule of Law and of the good working order of the institutions have ended up generating a very delicate breach of peace for the Honduran people.
We make an appeal to all of the Honduran people, to unite and keep in mind a vision of the future that will allow them to reestablish the democratic order and institutional framework with the vision of together building the country the Hondurans deserve.
Similarly, we urge the political leaders of our respective countries to act responsibly, respecting the sovereignty of the Honduran people and their right to resolve their own problems as has been set forth in their legislation and as guided by their democratic vocation without any intervention in order not to aggravate the economic situation of the Honduran people and that of the rest of the Central American region. As a Federation, we demand respect to the commitments subscribed before third States, both at the regional level (Central American Integration Agreements), at the multilateral levels (CAFTA), and on the multilateral environment (World Trade Organization) for which we condemn most emphatically the adoption of economic and commercial sanctions in view of a situation which is of strict political nature.
Central America, June 30th 2009.
Ing. Jorge José Daboub,
President FECAMCO
