Story summary

Nicaragua announced its withdrawal from the Central American Parliament, effective immediately, on October 4. The country's foreign ministry cited national sovereignty as the reason for leaving the parliament established in 1987. This move deepens Nicaragua’s isolation internationally, especially after it left the Organization of American States (OAS) in 2023 and announced its withdrawal from the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2025. The OAS recently urged Nicaraguan authorities to release political prisoners and restore civil liberties. Since April 2018, Nicaragua has faced a severe political crisis marked by social protests that led to over 350 deaths, more than 2,000 injuries, thousands of detentions, and significant emigration.
