In addition, the 11 countries recalled that the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UN) on Venezuela warned about the lack of independence and impartiality of both institutions, the CNE and the TSJ.
“The undersigned countries reiterate that only an impartial and independent audit of the votes, which evaluates all the minutes, will guarantee respect for the sovereign popular will and democracy in Venezuela,” the statement said.
