UN Security Council Says Security of Brazilian Embassy in Honduras Must be Ensured

Council members stressed the importance of respecting international law through preserving the inviolability of the Embassy.

(NEW YORK) - The Security Council today stressed the need to ensure the security of the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, where ousted Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya has taken shelter since his return to the country earlier this week.

This came after Brazil’s Foreign Minister, Celso Amorim, said that he was gravely concerned that the same people who had perpetrated the coup d’état in Honduras in June might threaten the Embassy’s inviolability to forcefully arrest Mr. Zelaya.
