Nicaragua withdraws from Central American Parliament (PARLACEN)

Nicaragua PARLACEN OAS resolution diplomatic isolation Central American integration

Nicaragua has officially notified the Central American Parliament (PARLACEN) of its decision to denounce the organization's Constitutive Treaty, effective immediately. The Nicaraguan government, led by Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, justified the withdrawal by stating that PARLACEN has failed to fulfill its objectives or benefit regional families. The decision was formally supported by the Nicaraguan parliamentary caucus, which characterized the move as a sovereign act.

The withdrawal follows a recent resolution by the Organization of American States (OAS), which established specific deadlines and monitoring mechanisms to address the political and human rights crisis in Nicaragua. The OAS aims to initiate direct dialogue with Nicaraguan authorities and facilitate a visit to the country to promote the restoration of civil liberties and the separation of powers.

As a result of Nicaragua's departure, PARLACEN faces a significant crisis of representation and may be reduced to only four member states: Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and the Dominican Republic. The organization is currently analyzing the legal and operational implications of the withdrawal, noting that the treaty does not contain an explicit clause for such a departure.
