The Venezuelan government categorically rejected on Friday the presentation to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations (UN), a report written by an illegitimate, politicized and ideologized mission, created by the failed Lima Group government cartel, which he accused of following US orders.

Through a statement, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry called the report vulgar and pamphlet, and said that its only objective is «to comply with orders issued from Washington, to implement the US policy of ‘regime change’ against the legitimate government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela».

The text states that the persistence of this shameful mission is a clear indication of the erratic drift to which the institutions of the United Nations system are leading, increasingly misdirected from their functions, turning them into instruments of coercion and blackmail to sovereign peoples and governments».

Considered that these institutions are «discredited to world public opinion by being unable to address the true acts of lesa humanidad such as the genocide in Palestine, carried out by the state of Israel and supported by the governments of the United States and the European Union, those who use human rights as an instrument of aggression and blackmail against free and sovereign peoples».

The communiqué states that Venezuela has denounced to the UN Human Rights Council and its High Commissioner, with sufficient evidence, the attempts of murder against the president (Nicolás Maduro), vice president (Delcy Rodríguez) and other senior officials, as well as the attempts of invasions to Venezuelan territory through groups of mercenaries hired in the United States and Europe».

It adds that ‘the pernicious effects of unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of fundamental rights by the Venezuelan people have been well documented. Unfortunately, the officials who receive such complaints seem to be more concerned about getting US citizens into positions in this international bureaucracy».

He claimed that the report submitted by the illegitimate ‘aims to turn the victims of fascism and the Venezuelan extreme right into victimologists, avoiding addressing the actions of the so-called ‘terror commandites’ who murdered 27 Venezuelans and caused damage to health, education and security facilities, which is a direct attack on the fundamental rights of citizens».

Venezuela has ratified that it «possesses the highest moral in defense of human rights in the region», and has created a robust protective apparatus since the approval of the current Constitution in 1999.

Finally, he said that «the popular victory of President Nicolás Maduro Moros on July 28 guarantees to continue along this path of truth and justice as taught by Commander Eterno Hugo Chávez Frías».
