High Commissioner Volker Turk emphasized that he is deeply concerned about the violence following Venezuela's contested election, signaling a resumption of UN human rights operations in the country.
Despite the Maduro government’s accusations, which labeled the UN office as a colonialist presence, the human rights office is aiming to restore its full operations in Venezuela.
Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Minister Yvan Gil Pinto accused the UN human rights office of undermining the government, labeling it a private law firm for coup plotters.
The Maduro administration has consistently faced severe condemnation for its human rights violations, including arbitrary arrests and extrajudicial killings.
