UNASUR member countries agreed to create a special committee, in charge of foreign ministers of the bloc, aimed at taking precise measures to clarify a situation which violated Evo Morales' immunity.
In the final declaration of the encounter, read by Bolivian foreign minister David Choquehuanca, UNASUR demands the United Nations and other international organizations to speak before the violation of different treaties and the Bolivian President's immunity.
