Peru Urges the OAS to Act on the Nicaragua Reform
Peru has called on the OAS and the UN to act over the Nicaragua reform. It wants to prevent a dictatorship consolidating. The move follows an OAS resolution declaring that representative democracy no longer exists in Nicaragua. The post Peru Urges the OAS to Act on the Nicaragua Reform appeared first on The Rio Times .
Peru has formally rejected Nicaragua's constitutional reform, urging the Organization of American States (OAS) and the United Nations (UN) to take action. The Peruvian government claims the reform seeks to dismantle democratic institutions and perpetuates the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship. In an official communique issued on 3 September 2026, Peru's foreign ministry denounced the reform as a clear violation of the Inter-American Democratic Charter and Nicaragua's human rights commitments.
Peru has called upon the OAS and UN to utilize existing mechanisms to address the situation, though no suspension from the OAS has been taken. The OAS Permanent Council approved a resolution on 19 August 2026 declaring that representative democracy no longer exists in Nicaragua, but the reform itself is not yet in force. The reform prohibits the extraterritoriality of foreign laws, potentially undermining international pressure and human rights commitments.
