The Facts and the Law Behind the Democratic Crisis of Honduras (Spanish)

El presente trabajo de investigación está dividido en dos partes. La Primera Parte analiza si la terminación del mandato del presidente Zelaya, el 28 de junio, estuvo o no de acuerdo a la Constitución y las leyes de Honduras. La conclusión general de esta parte es que tanto su “separación” a cargo del Congreso, como su expulsión a Costa Rica a cargo de las Fuerzas Armadas (FF. AA.) fueron inconstitucionales. La Primera Parte llega también a las siguientes conclusiones: (1) que la Corte Suprema de Justicia sí tiene la autoridad constitucional para juzgar al Presidente por cualquier delito, para suspenderlo de su cargo durante el juicio y para hacer efectiva su destitución como consecuencia de una sentencia condenatoria; (2) que, si el Ministerio Público y la Corte Suprema hubieran actuado conforme a la Constitución y las leyes, habría sido posible juzgar, suspender y destituir con éxito al presidente Zelaya por la comisión del delito de abuso de autoridad; (3) que, en vez de corregir las acciones inconstitucionales a cargo de las FF. AA. y el Congreso, la Corte Suprema optó por validarlas.
