Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Julieta Castellanos, former rector of the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH), has raised concerns regarding the integrity of the Honduran justice system and the stability of its electoral processes. Castellanos characterized the judicial system as “selective” and noted that high-impact corruption and money laundering cases have often gone unpunished due to decades of impunity. She criticized certain Penal Code provisions as being designed to benefit specific political and financial elites and warned that judicial decisions are frequently “fragile.” Regarding electoral integrity, Castellanos warned that systemic deficiencies, such as the failure of political parties to properly accredit polling station board members, could facilitate fraud and political instability. As the National Congress considers various reform proposals—including gender parity and the implementation of a second round of voting—Castellanos urged citizens to monitor legislative actions to ensure democratic strengthening. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-10: Julieta Castellanos warns of electoral risks in Honduras Former UNAH rector Julieta Castellanos warns that inadequate accreditation of polling station boards in Honduras risks fraud and political instability. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/julieta-castellanos-warns-of-electoral-risks-in-honduras ### 2026-10-01: Julieta Castellanos criticizes Honduran justice and electoral reforms Julieta Castellanos, former UNAH rector, criticizes Honduras's justice system for decades of selective impunity and warns that proposed electoral reforms may be merely “cosmetic.” 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/julieta-castellanos-criticizes-honduran-justice-and-electoral-reforms --- Cite as: Honduran judicial and electoral reform debates.
