Several member states of the Organization of American States (OAS) have condemned Ortega’s announcement. The delegations of Canada and Chile sought to remedy this silence by preparing a statement for member states. But this does not transform an internal human rights crisis into a threat to hemispheric peace and security. We made clear that the withdrawal did not erase the international human rights obligations applicable to Nicaragua, including those arising from the American Convention on Human Rights. Those suspension provisions apply only to member states and therefore no longer provide a course of action.
