  Honduran President Porfirio Lobo is in Costa Rica to initiate a truth commission to investigate the coup in Honduras last June 28th. Lobo wanted to thank Costa Rican President Arias for his assistance in mediating the situation last summer.
  Last June former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was kicked out for charges that he wanted to amend the constitution, which is illegal in Honduras. During the coup Arias offered to help resolve the issue. Arias spoke with both arguing parties, hoping to mediate the problem.
  President Lobo is Honduras' newest president since the coup. Lobo as promised to uphold Arias' 12 points that were written during the mediation process. The plan calls for a truth commission to investigate the coup. Many wanted Lobo to "let the details of the conflict remain buried" but Lobo does not agree.
  Lobo hopes the investigation will reveal the causes of the coup which will then allow the country to move on.
  Arias has also used the commission to show the legitimacy of Lobo's presidency. Many in the international community have yet to recognize Lobo. Arias commented that it is "absolutely unacceptable" that Lobo has not been recognized by world leaders.
