Honduras shifts from state of exception to terrorism framework to combat violence

Honduras' National Defense and Security Council suspended the state of exception and constitutional guarantees, adopting a terrorism-focused approach to address insecurity after over 1,800 violent deaths by mid-September. This marks a policy shift in the government's security strategy, though details on implementation and legal implications remain unclear. The move signals a potential escalation in state security measures, which could affect civil liberties and regional security dynamics.
