  • Letter from the Government of Honduras on Actions Taken
    Appendix 13 – Letter from the Government of Honduras on actions taken OFFICIAL LETTER No.1077-DGPE/DSM-10 Tegucigalpa, June 4, 2010 Excellency, It is my honor to present my compliments and to say that the purpose of this letter in follow- up to the two notes sent to the international community in April 2010 is to express our desire for genuine understanding of the situation in our country and that the international community be suitably and correctly informed of the efforts of the Government of Honduras to implement a real process of national unity and reconciliation. I should begin by drawing attention to the fact that our president, Mr. Porfirio Lobo Sosa, has set about the task of leading the country with the strength afforded him by the legitimacy of a transparent election extensively observed by the international community, in which the majority of the people of Honduras clearly, lawfully, and unmistakably expressed their will in the search for peace, stability, and restored unity. This electoral process, called by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal under the administration of former President Zelaya Rosales, was preceded by the primary elections in which all legally registered political parties chose their candidates to the National Congress, Municipalities, and the Presidency of the Republic, a process monitored by international observers—including those from the Organization of American States (OAS)—who noted the transparency and success thereof. I am at pains to draw your attention to the fact that Article 51 of the Constitution of Honduras defines the Supreme Electoral Tribunal as an autonomous and independent entity responsible for the convocation, organization, direction, and supervision of electoral processes.

    Historia del Poder Judicial de Honduras En una época de la Colonia estuvimos regidos en Honduras por la constitución de Bayona y posteriormente por la Monarquía Española del Rey Fernando VII, donde al hablar del territorio de la España expresa: “El territorio español comprende con la Península con sus posesiones e islas adyacentes, Aragón, Asturias, Castilla la Vieja Guatemala (sede de la Capitanía General que comprendía la Provincia de Honduras) etc. El 15 de Septiembre de 1821 se proclamó la independencia y nació la Federación Centroamericana, habiéndose decretado su primera Constitución el 22 de Noviembre de 1824, y siendo su territorio el mismo que antes comprendía el antiguo reino de Guatemala compuesta por cinco Estados: Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador y Guatemala, y una de las declaraciones fundamentales, las siguientes: “Todo hombre es libre en la República. No puede ser esclavo el que se acoja a sus leyes, ni ciudadano el que trafique con esclavos “. Dicha Constitución fue reformada por el Congreso Federal el 13 de febrero de 1835. Disuelta la Federación, la primera Constitución del Estado de Honduras se emitió en la ciudad de Comayagua, antigua capital del país, el 11 de Diciembre de 1825, y después se emitieron por su orden la de 1831, la de 1839, la de 1847, la de 1865 y la de 1873 emitidas también en la ciudad de Comayagua.

The bus carried 60 passengers, many of which were young children with their mothers who were carrying Christmas gifts they had bought in the city, and others were workers in the maquilas, or textile factories, who were heading home after a long day’s work. As they were traveling, the driver, Guillermo Salgado Pineda, noticed two cars stopped ahead of him, and as the bus went along one of the cars cut off the bus and stopped in front of it while the other boxed it in from behind.

  • GOBERNANTES DE HONDURAS En La Época Del Dominio De España En América, Honduras Formó Parte De La Capitanía General De Guatemala
    GOBERNANTES DE HONDURAS En la época del dominio de España en América, Honduras formó parte de la Capitanía General de Guatemala. A partir de 1812, España creó en Centroamérica dos diputaciones provinciales: una abarcaba Guatemala, El Salvador, Comayagua y Chiapas. La otra abarcaba Nicaragua y Costa Rica. Honduras formó parte de la Diputación Provincial de Guatemala con el nombre de Comayagua. El 15 de septiembre de 1821 Guatemala proclamó su independencia de España. Poco después Honduras, al igual que las otras provincias centroamericanas, se anexo a México en enero de 1822. Al fracasar la anexión, Honduras formó parte de las Provincias Unidas del Centro de América, paso previo a la creación de la República Federal de Centro América, cuya constitución se emitió en 1824. Asimismo Honduras emitió su propia constitución estatal.
