Venezuela rejects UN resolution on so-called fact-finding mission

Caracas, October 12 (RHC)-- The Venezuelan government has expressed its strong rejection of the renewal of the so-called Fact-Finding Mission, which was approved by the Human Rights Council of United Nations. In a statement, Caracas declared that the renewal of this body is “illegitimate” and serves “exclusively political objectives” in favor of the United States government.

In a statement, Caracas declared that the renewal of this body is “illegitimate” and serves “exclusively political objectives” in favor of the United States government.  It stated that these missions have become “instruments of coercion and blackmail against sovereign peoples and governments” and represent “a clear indication of the deviation of United Nations institutions.”

Furthermore, the statement denounced their incapacity to address genuine acts of crimes against humanity, such as the genocide in Palestine and the bombing of civilians in Lebanon perpetrated by the State of Israel.

“The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has demonstrated a strengthened commitment to human rights,” which is “much more solid than that of most governments that today promote its instrumentalization to reverse the advances of the revolutionary democratic process in Venezuela,” concludes the declaration.
