Yes. Honduras is a member of several international and regional intergovernmental organizations and frameworks that influence policies and responses related to forced displacement, refugees, asylum seekers, returnees, and internally displaced persons (IDPs). These include the United Nations (UN) and its specialized agencies, the Organization of American States (OAS), and the Central American Integration System (SICA). Honduras is also a participating State in the Comprehensive Regional Protection and Solutions Framework (MIRPS/RFPS), a regional mechanism established under the San Pedro Sula Declaration to strengthen cooperation on prevention, protection, assistance, and durable solutions for forcibly displaced populations in Central America and Mexico. 

Honduras is a State Party to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (with active reservations to Articles 7, 17, and 34), its 1967 Protocol, and the 1954 Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons. It also recognizes the 1984 Cartagena Declaration, whose expanded definition of a refugee—based on generalized violence, internal conflicts, and massive human rights violations—forms part of its domestic legislation. The constitutional framework underpinning these commitments is established in Articles 15 and 16 of the 1982 Constitution of the Republic of Honduras: Article 15 provides that Honduras adopts the principles and practices of international law that promote human solidarity, self-determination of peoples, non-intervention, and the consolidation of universal peace and democracy; while Article 16 establishes that international treaties concluded by Honduras, upon entry into force, form an integral part of domestic law.

At the operational level, Honduras gives effect to its international protection obligations through the Migration and Aliens Law (Decree No. 208-2003), its Regulations, and the institutional framework governing refugee status determination and international protection. Article 3(22) of the Law incorporates the legal definition of a refugee in accordance with the international instruments ratified by Honduras and serves as the basis for refugee status determination procedures. The Law further establishes the distribution of responsibilities among national authorities in migration and international protection matters. While Articles 4 and 8 assign competencies to the Secretariat of State for Governance, Justice and Decentralization and the former General Directorate of Migration and Aliens, subsequent institutional reforms, including the creation of the National Institute of Migration (INM) in 2014, transferred operational migration management and refugee-related functions to the INM. Currently, the INM is responsible for migration control, the processing of refugee claims, documentation, and the implementation of administrative measures related to international protection, while the Secretariat of State for Governance, Justice and Decentralization retains authority over asylum matters as provided for under the applicable legal framework. The competent government authorities also retain policy, regulatory and oversight functions in accordance with national legislation.
