Summary

Supports the democratic aspirations of the people of Nicaragua. Deplores the interruption of constitutional order in Nicaragua that led to the fraudulent reelection of Daniel Ortega on November 6, 2011. Condemns the acts of violence perpetrated on election day and calls upon Nicaraguan authorities to prosecute those responsible. Urges: (1) President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton to take measures to encourage the restoration of constitutional rule in Nicaragua; (2) issuance of a final report on the Mission of Electoral Accompaniment of the Organization of American States (OAS); and (3) the U.S. Ambassador to the OAS to lead an OAS effort to restore democracy and the rule of law in Nicaragua, including formally suspending the Nicaraguan government under Articles 20 and 21 of the Inter-American Democratic Charter.
