<p>The Government has consistantly engaged with Honduran authorities on the issue
of human rights. Soon after the new President of Honduras took office in January this
year, representatives from the British Embassy met senior Honduran officials, including
the Attorney General and the Commissioner for Human Rights. Our Embassy has since
continued this dialogue with the appropriate Honduran authorities, including raising
specific cases highlighted by a number of non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Most
recently, Her Majesty's Ambassador wrote to the newly appointed Human Rights Ombudsman
and the Attorney General to highlight our ongoing human rights concerns. An official
from the Crown Prosecution Service also travelled to Honduras in February to assess
whether UK expertise can be used in support of EU work, to develop capacity in tackling
impunity for human rights violations and abuses.</p>
