Mexico asks other nations to join anti-U.S. resolution

Mexico Foreign Secretary Luis Videgaray said that his country’s government will propose a resolution before the Organization of American States on Friday condemning the United States’ policy of separating children from parents who have entered the country illegally.

The administration of President Donald Trump reversed course on that policy after outrage from opponents and his own party, but it is still working on how to reunite parents who are separated from their children.

In a statement Tuesday, Videgaray said he hoped that other countries in the region would support Mexico’s proposed resolution. It will also ask the InterAmerican Commission on Human Rights to institute protection measures if it sees fit.

It says Videgaray considers the policy “cruel, inhumane, unjustified and a violation of human rights.”
