Political Dialogue in Honduras

The Political Dialogue in Honduras was an initiative implemented by the Honduran Government in collaboration with the United Nations. The Dialogue was designed as a response to the political crisis derived from the alleged fraud in the general elections of 2017 in Honduras, and aimed to seek solutions to tackle the crisis and promote political stability. The initiative consisted in the implementation of four working tables to discuss four main topics: the electoral process of 2017 and the presidential re-election, human rights, constitutional reforms and the strengthening of the rule of law, and electoral reforms. Representatives from the government and from the main national parties participated in the working tables, as well as opposition groups.
