OAS General Secretariat Condemns Arrest Warrant for Edmundo González in Venezuela
September 3, 2024
The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) condemns the arrest warrant issued by the authorities of the regime in Venezuela against Edmundo González. Political persecution, this time in the form of an arrest warrant for the opposition candidate who appears to have won the last elections according to the only documentary information available more than a month after the elections, constitutes one more crime in the permanent and continuous legal logic of systematic violation of human rights in the country.
Once again, the judiciary in Venezuela perpetrates acts that point to it as a fundamental instrument in the execution of crimes against humanity in the country. It is not a judiciary that administers justice, but rather repression and violation of fundamental freedoms, and that establishes itself as the main agent of impunity for human rights violations.
Expecting Venezuelan prosecutors, magistrates and judges to eventually do justice is a legal absurdity, but it also entails an even greater ethical and moral absurdity, as it continues to expose the Venezuelan people to the systematic policies of crimes against humanity of the Venezuelan regime without using the instruments of indictment and arrest of those responsible by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. Respect for guarantees and conditions of the rule of law requires international action and not inaction.
