Nicaragua has resigned from membership in an organization through which the US seeks to impose its hegemony and crush the will of the peoples.

Nicaragua's Foreign Affairs Minister, Denis Moncada, confirmed the Central American country's intention to exit the Organization of American States on Friday (OAS).

"Taking into account the "Declaration of the National Assembly in the face of the repeated actions of interference of the Organization of American States in the Internal Affairs of the State of Nicaragua", No. 05-2021; the Declaration of the Caucus of Congressmen and Women before the Central American Parliament of the State of Nicaragua, both of 16th November 2021; Agreement No. 126 of the Supreme Court of Justice, of 17th November 2021; and the Agreement of Proclamation and Adhesion of the Supreme Electoral Council of ism November 2021, urging the President of the Republic, in his capacity as Head of State and Head of Government, to Denounce the Charter of the Organization of American States, in accordance to the mechanism stipulated in Art. 143, of said Instrument," Nicaraguan government said in a letter to the OAS secretary Luis Almagro.

"In my capacity as Minister of Foreign Affairs, as instructed by the Constitutional President of the Republic of Nicaragua, Commander Daniel Ortega Saavedra and following Article 67 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, I am writing to officially notify you of our unwavering decision to denounce the Charter of the Organization of American States (OAS), following Article 143, which initiates the Definitive Withdrawal and Resignation of Nicaragua from this Organization," the letter read.

"Nicaragua promotes and defends respect for the principles that govern International Law; compliance with the Charter of the United Nations, its principles and purposes, aimed at respecting the sovereign equality among States, non­ interference in internal affairs, abstention from the use of force or the threat of use of force and the non-imposition of unilateral, illegal and coercive measures; principles that the OAS is obliged to comply with, but irresponsibly ignores, in violation of its own Charter," It was further added on the letter.

The letter also said that the OAS "has been designed as a diplomatic political forum, born under the influence of the United States, as an instrument of interference and intervention and its actions against Nicaragua have shown that this organization, which operates permanently in Washington, has as its mission to facilitate the hegemony of the United States with its interventionism against the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean."

Nicaraguan Government said that the OAS must be condemned and can not be accepted.

"All Nicaraguans have to preserve and defend these rights. Likewise, it is based on the abovementioned, Sovereign Declaration of the National Assembly; on Agreement No. 126 of the Supreme Court of Justice; on the Agreement of Proclamation and Adhesion of the Supreme Electoral Council; on the Declaration of the Caucus of Congressmen and Women before the Central American Parliament, for the State of Nicaragua; and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties," the letter concluded.
