Venezuela: UN investigators accuse authorities of crimes against humanity
16 September 2020
United Nations (UN) investigators say Venezuela's government has "committed egregious violations" amounting to crimes against humanity.
Cases of killings, torture, violence and disappearances were investigated in a fact-finding mission for the UN Human Rights Council.
The UN team said President Nicolás Maduro and other top officials were implicated.
Venezuela's UN ambassador has described the mission as a "hostile initiative".
Ambassador Jorge Valero said last year that the UN action was part of a US-led campaign. The UN team was blocked from travelling into the country.
