Today at the OAS, the OAS Permanent Council delivered a resounding, near-unanimous vote condemning the Murillo-Ortega dictatorship's assault on hemispheric peace and stability, with support from 29 members. The message is clear — our region stands united. The Trump Administration stands firmly with the Nicaraguan people in their fight for freedom from tyranny
This strong, near-unanimous result sends a clear message: our hemisphere stands united against the Murillo-Ortega dictatorship’s ongoing assault on the rights of Nicaraguans, rule of law and representative democracy, and our hemisphere’s security.
The United States is proud to have worked alongside Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, and Uruguay to advance this resolution, and we remain committed to supporting the Nicaraguan people's demands for a future free from tyranny and brutal oppression.
To the Murillo-Ortega dictatorship and to those who tried to stand in the way of this important resolution’s adoption: the hemisphere is watching, it will not look away, and it will transform words into actions against those who threaten our shared peace and stability.
