Venezuelan Foreign Minister Carlos Faría said on Wednesday that the U.S. is making political use of human rights against his country by trying to renew the United Nations International Independent Fact-Finding Mission, which presented a report on alleged human rights violations by Venezuelan government agencies.
“If the U.S. had a real interest in human rights, it would immediately lift its blockade against Venezuela. On the contrary, it continues to make political use of them, seeking the renewal of a mission dedicated to promoting false positives and overshadowing the cooperation of the Government with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR),” the official wrote in a Twitter message.
Faría referred to the message published by the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Brian A. Nichols, who indicated that the U.N. mission reports are an essential tool for accountability for human rights abuses in Venezuela and called for their renewal.
