DESCRIPTION:The June 2009 military coup that resulted in the ousting of the 
 democratically elected government marked a rapid and harrowing escalation 
 in violence, repression, corruption, and impunity in Honduras. Today, 
 Honduras is known as the 'murder capital of the world' and a 'repression 
 capital of the Americas'. However, a rising pro-democracy movement is 
 emerging in Honduras and the new party, LIBRE, was strongly supported in 
 the November 2012 primary elections. The general elections will take place 
 this November and the pro-democracy movement is gaining momentum. This 
 presentation will provide background and a discussion of the ramifications 
 for Democracy, Human Rights and the Environment in Honduras today. \n\nMark 
 Sullivan is an environmental attorney in Santa Cruz, California and an 
 adjunct professor of environmental law at De Anza College in Cupertino, 
 California. He is interested in the relationships between environmental 
 harms and human rights violations, and he has traveled extensively 
 throughout Central America. Most recently, last November he participated in 
 a delegation that observed the primary elections in Honduras and he just 
 returned from Honduras on a human rights delegation with Rights Action. He 
 is also organizing two delegations to Honduras later this year with Rights 
 Action, one delegation will take place this August and another delegation 
 of lawyers will observe the General Elections in November 2013.
