ARTICLE CONTENT
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The U.N. office on human rights in Venezuela partially
resumed operations in recent weeks, the agency’s chief said Friday, months after
the government of President Nicolas Maduro expelled its staff for allegedly
helping coup plotters and terror groups.

The announcement from Volker Turk, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights,
came in an address to representatives of the 47-nation Human Rights Council in
Geneva, where he denounced deteriorating conditions in the South American
country following the July presidential election.
Maduro and the political opposition both claim to have won the vote.
“I remain deeply concerned by the disproportionate use of force and violence
during post-electoral protests in July and August, including by armed
individuals supporting the government,” Turk said.
“The authorities have confirmed the detention of some 2,000 people since the
election,” he added. “I’m very concerned that many of these people were
arbitrarily detained, including adolescents and young adults, members of the
opposition, human rights defenders, journalists and lawyers, as well as
bystanders.”

He also called for a “prompt and effective investigation” into the killings of
more than 20 people amid the unrest that followed the July 28 election.
The U.N. office in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, was ordered to close in
February amid heightened concerns that the government was repressing real or
perceived opponents in an election year. The decision followed a wave of
criticism inside and outside Venezuela over the detention of a prominent human
rights attorney and members of her family.
In 2019, Maduro’s government had agreed to cooperate with the high commissioner
to establish the local technical advisory office.
Venezuela’s Foreign Affairs Minister Yvan Gil, in announcing the February
decision, claimed that instead of improving human rights, the 13-staff office
had “become the private law firm of coup plotters and terrorist groups that
permanently conspire against the country.”

Authorities did not provide any evidence or point to a specific example of such
an activity.
Turk told the council Friday he hoped the office in Caracas could soon be fully
operational. But Ambassador Alexander Yanez, Maduro’s representative in Geneva,
suggested that Turk’s criticisms of human rights conditions in Venezuela do not
bode well for the local office.
“They do nothing to help this process,” Yanez said, adding that the remarks
amounted to “self-serving narratives from sectors of the fascist opposition” in
Venezuela and that they compromise “the objectivity and impartiality, the
independence, of the work” of the office.
