Institutional weakness, corruption, violence, and impunity undermine the overall stability of Honduras. Journalists, political activists, and women are often the victims of violence, and perpetrators are rarely brought to justice. Honduras holds regular elections; while the 2017 presidential poll prompted concerns over irregularities, the 2021 elections—which ushered in Honduras’s first female president—were more transparent. However, that year’s executive and legislative elections were marred by unprecedented violence.
The Republic of Honduras is a country in Central America.
The republic of Honduras is bordered to the west by Guatemala, to the southwest by El Salvador,
to the southeast by Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca,
and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea.
Politics of Honduras takes place in a framework of a multi-party system presidential representative democratic republic.
