The resolution also calls for restoring civic liberties and could lead to coordinated diplomatic, economic and financial measures, officials said.
- On Friday, the Organization of American States approved a resolution calling on Nicaragua to restore civic liberties, free political prisoners, and establish conditions for fair elections.
- Co-Presidents Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo have heavily restricted civil liberties since 2018 and last month banned opposition parties from future elections through constitutional reforms.
- The resolution demands the release of 68 political prisoners and restoration of citizenship for 452 individuals, while advocating reversal of constitutional changes approved in 2025 and 2026.
- OAS Secretary-General Albert Ramdin said, "That cannot be the only outcome," while Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau warned the dictatorship "endangers the peace and security of our hemisphere."
- A ministerial group will report within 30 days on potential diplomatic and economic measures, though internal rifts exist over whether Nicaragua poses a regional security threat.
