  1. “We request the international community and the Security Council to urge the Government of Nicaragua to immediately cease its disproportionate use of force, comply with all the recommendations of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on the current situation in Nicaragua and resume a serious dialogue, based on respect, commitment and trust - the only path to a consensus- based solution among Nicaraguans and for Nicaraguans.”

  3. “We will continue to speak out in defence of a population subjected to arbitrary actions that constitute a breach of the obligations under various different human rights covenants and principles. Costa Rica urges a prompt response from the Nicaraguan Government and the international community to address the grave and unsustainable situation. We will continue to speak out until reason, good judgement and full respect for human rights return to Nicaragua. Costa Rica reiterates its support for, and commitment to, actions promoted by the Organization of American States (OAS), which are now being presented to the Council. Our country welcomes in particular the adoption of resolution CP/RES.”

  4. “Similarly, since the beginning, we have worked closely with the relevant international organizations and United Nations agencies, such as the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organization for Migration, among others, with which we maintain a close relationship and from whom we have received considerable support. Our country wishes to reiterate its conviction that the path to committed and effective dialogue must be the solution to the political conflict that plagues the Nicaraguan people, with whom we share deep historical ties of neighbourliness, closeness and brotherhood. We urge the Nicaraguan Government to re-establish conditions that ensure that dialogue among all parties is possible. Given the current circumstances, Costa Rica cannot remain silent.”

  5. “In total, during the first eight months of this year, more than 12,830 refugee applications were received from Nicaraguan citizens. As a country of destination, transit and origin that respects human rights, Costa Rica's priority has always been the protection, respect, dignity and safety of people. In order to meet those objectives, Costa Rican institutions have always responded responsibly, as it has in this case, in an orderly manner and in compliance with national and international standards.”

  6. “The deepening of the political, social and economic crisis in Nicaragua, repression and lack of respect for fundamental freedoms and human rights on the part of the authorities could cause an unbridled escalation of the crisis, which would have a direct impact on the stability and development of the countries and peoples of Central America. Since the first set of student demonstrations, which were repressed with unusual violence, Costa Rica has experienced a considerable increase in refugee applications and migration flows from Nicaragua. The number of Nicaraguan migrants has increased considerably, including in particular vulnerable people seeking safety and better opportunities. The number of refugee applications has also increased - from four applications in January this year to 4,074 in August alone.”

  7. “They have led to the systematic erosion of the human rights of the Nicaraguan people, as well as to the selective repression and intimidation of demonstrators and their families, students, journalists, social leaders, human rights defenders and mediators, among others. In line with international law, it must be recalled that each country has the primary responsibility to guarantee the security and protection of its inhabitants and, failing that, the international community must protect the human rights of those people. For months we have seen the serious migration, social and economic repercussions, which have not remained confined to Nicaragua but have spread beyond its borders.”

  8. “Since April, when the conflict began, we have expressed our dismay about the escalation of violence and repression, which, according to the report of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, has already claimed hundreds of lives and led to a regrettable wave of serious human rights violations, thereby threatening the security and safety of thousands of Nicaraguans. As we have stated and as the report reflects, we believe that extrajudicial executions, forced disappearances, the obstruction of access to medical care, widespread arbitrary or illegal detentions, ill- treatment and cases of torture and sexual violence in detention centres are all unacceptable.”

  9. “Felix Maradiaga, to whom we express our gratitude. We paid close attention to the statement made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua, Mr. Denis Moncada Colindres. The situation in the brotherly country to the north is a priority issue for the Nicaraguan people and for the Costa Rica, for everything that occurs in that small, interconnected geographical area has a direct or indirect impact on us and, similarly, on the entire Central American region. Costa Rica cannot and will not be indifferent to the suffering and uncertainty of those whom we consider our brothers and sisters. Costa Rica has been consistent in expressing its concern about the deterioration of the rule of law and respect for human rights in Nicaragua.”

  10. “Mr. Carazo Zeledon (Costa Rica) (spoke in Spanish): Costa Rica thanks the presidency of the Council for having convened this meeting on the situation in Nicaragua. We believe it to be appropriate, timely and necessary. The report entitled "Violations of human rights and abuses in the context ofthe protests in Nicaragua", issued by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, attests to the "systematic erosion of human rights" in that country. This meeting should give us the opportunity to find the way to guarantee the full respect of human rights in Nicaragua in order to maintain social peace and ensure sustainable regional peace. We have listened carefully to the briefings of Mr. Gonzalo Koncke, Chief of Staff to the Secretary General of the Organization of American States, and Mr.”
