Summary
Welcomes the commitment of General Andres Rodriguez to conduct discussions with Paraguayan political leaders aimed at amending the electoral laws of Paraguay and urges that the dialogue continue. Urges that specified changes be implemented, including universal voter registration, proportional representation in the legislature, removal of the requirement of Colorado political party membership for civil service and military employment, and measures to permit opposition candidates access to the media and freedom of assembly. Calls upon the provisional Government of Paraguay to: (1) permit journalists and foreigners to freely observe the May 1, 1989, elections; (2) verify the validity of current voter registration rolls and encourage open and free registration; (3) set a date for the long pending visit by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights; (4) repeal laws which have been used for arresting and detaining people because of the peaceful expression of their political beliefs; and (5) permit independent, democratic labor unions to organize and operate freely.
