During the official welcoming ceremony, Zelaya -now in Mexico following an invitation made by his counterpart, Felipe Calderón- emphasized that reverting the situation of the coup d´état is a challenge for the international community.

For the head of state, if this act remains unpunished, it would represent the opening of possibilities for similar events to take place in other parts of the world –that is, the ruling of other nations’ fate by force, the Prensa Latina news agency reports.

There is still a lot to do on the part of the international community to obtain the respect of the universal human rights acknowledged by the United Nations and the Organization of American States (OAS), as proved by the recent events in Honduras, said Zelaya.

He also highlighted the courage of the Honduran people, now facing a dictatorial and repressive regime, installed after the June 28th coup.

He added that popular demonstrations have taken place in Honduras over the last 34 days, with over 200 road blockings and the taking of public places and the participation of teachers, labor unions, farmers, indigenous people and honest entrepreneurs.
