“The reports that the Mission has presented detail the Crimes against humanity committed by the regime. The renewal allows those responsible to be investigated and justice to be possible. Our thanks to more than 40 co-sponsors and 19 countries that voted in favour,” he said on Twitter.

And he added: “Once again, the international community affirms that it is on the side of the Venezuelans and that they repudiate each one of the atrocities committed by the Maduro regime. This renewal is hope and justice for the victims and for an entire country. Our deep gratitude”.

The UN Human Rights Council approved the renewal for two years of the mission that investigates crimes against humanity in Venezuela. The project, promoted by 39 countries, indicated that “it is valuable to renew the mandate of the mission to contribute to accountability. It is a technical renewal of the mandate”, explained the nations that presented the resolution. It received 19 votes in favor, 5 against and 23 abstentions.

Of the Latin Americans who have a vote in the Council, Brazil and Paraguay supported the project; Argentina, Mexico and Honduras abstained; and Bolivia, Cuba and Venezuela did it against.

In the debate prior to the vote there was a moment of tension in the living room. “It is important to have a balanced and measured report. In the reports, the mission documented human rights abuses, inhuman and degrading treatment,” said the US ambassador. Her peer from Venezuela violently interrupted her and asked that her country be “respected”. Then the North American was allowed to continue her presentation, in which she ratified the work of the independent mission.

After the word of the representative of the government of Joe Biden, the ambassadors of Bolivia y Cuba. Both, allies of the Nicolás Maduro regime, rejected any attempt to renew the UN independent fact-finding mission. The same thing happened with the presentation of the representative of Chinawho called the work of the independent mission “interfering”.

Meanwhile, the delegation of Paraguay highlighted the reports of the mission and former High Commissioner Michelle Bachelet. “We recognize progress and dialogue processes in Venezuela, but this is a proposal that puts the victims at the center. (…) Venezuela, as a member of this council, must fully cooperate with all mechanisms, as well as implement the UN recommendations”, he expressed.
