Berta Caceres Human Rights in Honduras Act This bill prohibits funds from being made available to Honduras for the police or military (including for equipment and training), and directs the Department of the Treasury to instruct U.S. representatives at multilateral development banks to vote against any loans for the police or military of Honduras, until the Department of States certifies that the government of Honduras has: prosecuted members of the military and police for human rights violations and ensured that such violations have ceased; established the rule of law and guaranteed a judicial system capable of bringing to justice members of the police and military who have committed human rights abuses; established that it protects the rights of trade unionists, journalists, human rights defenders, government critics, and civil society activists to operate without interference; withdrawn the military from domestic policing; and brought to trial and obtained verdicts against those who ordered and carried out the attack on Felix Molina and the killings of Berta Caceres, Joel Palacios Lino, Elvis Armando Garcia, and over 100 small-farmer activists in the Aguan Valley.

2017 · first_quarter · Foreign Relations
Foreign policy with Latin America, military spending, international military training, foreign aid. We seek to build relationships between the U.S. and Latin America based on peace, where military relations are not paramount. We asked supporters to contact members of congress to co-sponsor HR 1299, the Berta Caceres Human Rights in Honduras Act, which seeks to suspend military aid to Honduras pending credible investigations into egregious human rights violations by the Honduran government. Our organization actually had very little if any direct contact with elected officials during this quarter.
