In reference to information requested but not yet submitted, the Government stated on
June 13, 1989 that it
... has sent notes to various institutions and only a few have replied; nevertheless,
despite the difficulties, the documents we have requested will be sent opportunely
as they arrive.
Likewise, I also inform you that in regard to numbers 4, 5, and 6 of the note of the
Honorable Court, my Government believes it will be impossible to send certain
documents which are very personal, and, therefore, suggests that this information
should be presented by the Inter-American Commission or by the legal
representatives of the plaintiffs against the State of Honduras.
