The corporate assault on Honduras Mafia-style investments and the Honduran people’s struggle for democracy and dignity

Investment Protection

This report explores the surge of mafia-style arbitration claims against Honduras, rooted in an unjust global economic order entrenched since the 1990s. Analyzing the post-coup context, it exposes how narco-dictatorship and neoliberalism enable illegitimate investments and odious debt, threatening the nation’s democracy and dignity, and poses urgent questions on dismantling these oppressive legal and economic frameworks.
