Briefing: Situation of the judment of the IACHR in the case of López Lone; expiration of the term of compliance. November 10, 2016.

After the 2009 coup in Honduras, Magistrate Tirza Flores and Judges Guillermo López Lone, Luis Alonso Chévez and Ramón Barrios, all members of the Association of Judges for Democracy (AJD), were dismissed arbitrarily. The case went to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR), which issued a sentence and recognized the active role that the Supreme Court of Honduras played in the coup. This document aims to draw the attention of the international community to the lack of progress in complying with the judgment, which expires on November 10, 2016, one year after being notified.
