TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras - A member of a team sent to Honduras to monitor implementation of a U.S.-brokered deal says interim leaders violated the accord by forming a unity government without the ousted president's input.

The Organization of American States tasked former Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis with verifying the pact.

Lagos told CNN en Espanol Saturday that interim President Roberto Micheletti broke the agreement by unilaterally forming a unity government.

Micheletti announced late Thursday that a power-sharing government had been created even though coup-deposed President Manuel Zelaya had not submitted his list of members. Zelaya declared the pact dead.

The two sides have not met since then.
