Template:POV-titleInternational reaction to the 2009 Honduran coup d'état of June 28, 2009, was that the coup was widely repudiated around the globe. All Latin American nations (with the exception of Honduras itself), as well as the United States, United Nations, and others, publicly condemned the military-led ouster of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya as illegal and most labelled it a coup d'état. The Obama administration, along with all other governments in the hemisphere, branded the action a "coup." Every country in the region, except the United States, withdrew their ambassadors from Honduras. All EU ambassadors were withdrawn from the country. Venezuela said it would suspend oil shipments, and Honduras's neighbors — El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua - stopped overland trade for 48 hours. The World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank paused lending to Honduras.

President Barack Obama of the United States said, "We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the President of Honduras." Amongst the stronger reactions, the President of Venezuela Hugo Chávez pledged to "bring down" any replacement government. Americas-based international organizations such as the Organization of American States, Mercosur, and the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas have also condemned the events. No foreign governmennt has recognized the de facto President Roberto Micheletti.

International organizations

•  United Nations: A one-page resolution, passed by acclamation in the 192-member body, condemned the removal of Mr. Zelaya as a coup and demanded his “immediate and unconditional restoration” as president. The resolution calls "firmly and categorically on all states to recognise no government other than that" of Mr Zelaya.

•  Americas: The OAS called for an emergency meeting on Sunday, where it approved a resolution demanding "the immediate, safe and unconditional return of the constitutional president, Manuel Zelaya." Secretary-General José Miguel Insulza called the situation "a military coup." On July 1, 2009, the OAS "vehemently" condemned the removal of Mr. Zelaya over the previous weekend and issued an ultimatum to Honduras's new government: Unless Mr. Zelaya is returned to power within 72 hours, the nation will be suspended from the group. Honduras withdrew from the group on July 4.

• The nine members of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas announced in a joint statement that they would not recognize any new government in Honduras.

•  Caribbean: In a press release, CARICOM denounced the coup and voiced its concern over the treatment of Honduran and diplomatic officials during the coup. "The Caribbean Community condemns the military action which has interrupted the democratic process in Honduras and which contravenes the principles of the Inter-American Democratic Charter. The Community therefore calls for the immediate reinstatement of President Zelaya."

• The Association of Caribbean States condemned the coup in a statement and called for Zelaya's reinstatement. Additionally it stated, "we highlight our condemnation of the brutal treatment that Honduras military personnel gave to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Patricia Rodas as well as the Ambassadors of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela. This situation is a serious violation of International law, and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations."

•  Mercosur and  Paraguay: President of Paraguay and current president pro tempore of Mercosur Fernando Lugo condemned the coup and said that no member state of Mercosur will recognize a Honduran government that is not led by Manuel Zelaya. Lugo also called for those behind the coup to be punished by serving prison sentences.

•  South American Union and  Chile: Chilean president Michelle Bachelet speaking on behalf of her government and Unasur condemned the coup and referred to Zelaya as "legitimately elected by the people".

•  European Union: The European Union demanded a return to the constitutional order.

• The World Bank "paused" all lending for development programs to Honduras, said to be around $80 million for the next fiscal year. Asked under what conditions the World Bank would consider resuming lending to Honduras, World Bank President Robert Zoellick replied: "It is a situation that is in flux and fluid and in this case we are trying to play a supportive role with the region and its overall goals to restore democracy."

• The Inter-American Development Bank (IADB): IADB President Luis Alberto Moreno stated that the IADB is pausing all new loans to Honduras until democracy is restored, adding: "We hope there is a way to return to democracy."

• The Central American Bank for Economic Integration: Central America's development bank says it is provisionally freezing credits to Honduras.

•  Mexico: The Mexican government condemned the arrest and forced exile of Zelaya to Costa Rica.

•  Nicaragua: President of Nicaragua Daniel Ortega invited Zelaya to come to Nicaragua and attend the Central American Integration System presidents' meeting. "Come here.

•  Panama: The Panamanian government condemned the coup. However, Juan Varela, Vice President and Chancellor of Panamá stated that they will recognize the results of the elections, seeing a way out of the current situation—that was derived from the military coup—when the elections are handled in a transparent manner, and are part of the national dialog, TeleSUR reported.

•  Spain: A spokesperson for Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero released the following statement: "The head of the government expressed his strongest condemnation for the illegal detention and expulsion of the constitutional president of the Republic of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya.

•   Switzerland: The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs issued a statement expressing its concern. It "urges those responsible to re-establish constitutional order and the rule of law. It calls for a democratic and peaceful resolution of the current crisis."

•  United Kingdom: Chris Bryant, the British Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, said: "The UK condemns the expulsion of President Zelaya and calls for the restoration of democratic, constitutional government in Honduras. We support the Organisation of American States' call supporting the rule of law and are deeply concerned about the deployment of military personnel onto the streets of Tegucigalpa."

•  United States: The United States recognizes ousted President Manuel Zelaya as the only constitutional president of Honduras. President Barack Obama said in a statement, "I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter." In a written statement, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "The action taken against Honduran President Mel Zelaya violates the precepts of the Inter-American Democratic Charter, and thus should be condemned by all." "We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the democratically elected president there," Obama said. "It would be a terrible precedent if we start moving backwards into the era in which we are seeing military coups as a means of political transition rather than democratic elections," he added. "The region has made enormous progress over the last 20 years in establishing democratic traditions. ... We don't want to go back to a dark past." Although U.S. officials have characterized the events as a coup, they have held back from formally designating it as a "military coup", which would require them to cut off almost all aid to Honduras. On July 1, 2009, The United States Pentagon announced that joint military operations with Honduras had been suspended pending assessment of the situation. On July 2, 2009, The United States State Department announced that some foreign aid to Honduras had been paused pending assessment of the situation. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly stated: “We’ve taken some actions to hit the pause button on assistance programs which we would be legally required to terminate” if the State Department ultimately determines that a military coup has taken place. On July 7, 2009 The State Department announced that "we are suspending, as a policy matter, military assistance programs and a few development assistance programs that are for the Government of Honduras. The dollar amount associated with the military assistance that has been suspended, including Foreign Military Financing, International Military Education & Training, Peacekeeping Operations, and 1206 assistance, is approximately $16.5M. We are halting activities related to basic education and some environment and family planning programs, as well as support to the Government of Honduras for CAFTA-DR environmental standards. The assistance suspended by USAID thus far totals approximately $1.9 million." The Office of the Spokesman also noted that humanitarian assistance for the people of Honduras was still being supplied: "Thus, among other things, all assistance supporting the provision of food aid, HIV/AIDS and other disease prevention, child survival, and disaster assistance, as well as elections assistance to facilitate free and fair presidential elections, is still being provided to the people of Honduras." On August 4, 2009 Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs Richard Verma sent a letter to the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Richard Lugar, R-Ind., that rejected calls to impose harsher economic sanctions against Honduras. While condemning the coup, the letter stated: "Our policy and strategy for engagement is not based on supporting any particular politician or individual." The letter also stated: "We also recognize that President Zelaya's insistence on undertaking provocative actions contributed to the polarization of Honduran society and led to a confrontation that unleashed the events that led to his removal." Approximately one thousand pro-Zelaya demonstrators protested outside the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa after the State Department letter was made public. Effective August 26, 2009, in support of the OAS Foreign Ministers mission and as a consequence of the de facto regime’s reluctance to sign the San Jose Accord, the U.S. Department of State is suspending non-emergency, non-immigrant visa services in the consular section of its embassy in Honduras.
  The United States made a point to criticize the events while carefully avoiding formally labeling it a "military coup", which would trigger a cutoff of millions of dollars in aid to the impoverished Central American country.
  The Obama Administration's attempts to pressure Honduras into reversing the ouster of Zelaya have been complicated by some US Congressional Republican efforts to reach out to and advocate on behalf of the Micheletti government,Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page). as well as a recent Republican-commissioned report by US Law Library of Congress senior foreign law specialist Norma Gutierrez that supports the constitutionality of Zelaya's removal from office, while condemming his expatriation.

•  Uruguay: Vice President of Uruguay Rodolfo Nin Novoa condemned the coup and called for the re-establishment of democratic order in Honduras.

•  Venezuela: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said that the coup called for Obama to speak out because the US "has a lot to do" with what happens in Honduras. A few hours later, Chavez threatened to use force and put his troops on high alert, saying he would do everything necessary to abort the coup in Honduras if anything were to happen to its embassy. He also vaguely warned that if a new government was sworn in he would "bring them down". Chávez, who has both led a coup in Venezuela and survived a coup, in May 2009 threatened to withdraw Venezuela from OAS, has argued that the OAS should suspend Honduras from the group.
