The Organization of American States (OAS) has voted 29 to 1 to convene an emergency meeting of foreign ministers to discuss the situation in Nicaragua. Brazil was the lone country to vote against the resolution, with Mexico abstaining. The resolution, titled "Convocation of a Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs to Consider the Situation in Nicaragua," calls for a meeting of regional foreign ministers as soon as possible to assess the situation and determine appropriate actions in line with the OAS Charter, the Inter-American Democratic Charter, and international law.
The OAS Permanent Council approved the resolution on August 19, 2026, following an earlier failed attempt on August 5. The United States, along with regional co-sponsors, proposed the measure, which comes amid concerns about Nicaragua's democratic order under President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo's rule.
