Nicaragua has protested to Costa Rica over calls by the Anti-Canal Peasant Movement for military intervention in Nicaragua, while accusing the opposition group in exile of using children to read a public statement.

Absolute rejection of the exposure of children in inappropriate settings.

· Valdrack JaentschkeNicaragua used the phrase to condemn children’s participation in the opposition movement’s statement.

Nicaraguan Vice Foreign Minister Valdrack Jaentschke sent the complaint to Costa Rica’s Foreign Ministry. He said the movement had repeatedly sought military intervention in Nicaragua in a way that would harm the fundamental rights of Nicaraguans.

Managua also criticized the participation of children in the statement and expressed its “absolute rejection of the exposure of children in inappropriate settings.” The Nicaraguan Foreign Ministry said the presence of children and adolescents in such a context represented an unacceptable violation of their rights and serious negligence by those involved.

The use of children in dynamics of this nature violates the guiding principles of comprehensive protection established in national and international legal frameworks.

· Nicaraguan Foreign MinistryThe ministry described its objection to children being used in a political setting.

“The use of children in dynamics of this nature violates the guiding principles of comprehensive protection established in national and international legal frameworks,” the ministry said. It urged Costa Rica to work with Nicaragua to prevent violations of protections for children and adolescents.

Deep concern over the continued democratic deterioration in Nicaragua.

· Costa Rican governmentCosta Rica used the phrase when criticizing Nicaragua’s political situation.

The complaint came after Costa Rica voiced “deep concern over the continued democratic deterioration in Nicaragua,” which it said had worsened after a constitutional reform further limiting political and electoral participation. Costa Rica said it would support “a firm and coordinated response” through the Organization of American States. Nicaragua’s National Assembly, controlled by the ruling Sandinista movement, has approved the major partial constitutional reform in its first of two required readings.

A firm and coordinated response.

· Costa Rican governmentCosta Rica said it would support such a response through the OAS.
