Honduras said it would no longer recognize the Organization of American States charter.

It refused to restore ousted President Manuel Zelaya despite an appeal by OAS chief, Jose Miguel Insulza. And Honduras claimed the OAS attempted to impose "unilateral and indignant resolutions" on the new government...which took power a week ago in a military-backed coup...forcing Zelaya into exile.
