Several international humanitarian organizations called on member countries of the United Nations (UN) to take action to determine the responsibility of the Nicaraguan government in the face of repeated complaints of human rights violations. Among the facts mentioned are cases of torture and repression against opponents
and demonstrators.
One of the groups that spoke out was Collective 46/2, which brings together different research groups on the situation in the country. In a statement, they said: “We join the call for the international community to sustain the work of scrutiny, surveillance and participation in accountability processes, based on the information provided about serious human rights violations and those
responsible.”
