Bericht des UN-Menschenrechtsrates, 30.8.2017 (engl. Originalfassung)
OHCHR’s findings detailed in this report point to an increasingly critical human rights situation since the protests began, with mounting levels of repression of political dissent by national security forces, and increasing stigmatization and persecution of people perceived as opposing the Government of President Maduro. OHCHR documented extensive violations of human rights by national authorities in the context of country-wide demonstrations aimed at curbing any type of anti-government protests. OHCHR found that security forces systematically used excessive force and arbitrarily detained protesters. Patterns of ill-treatment, in some cases amounting to torture, and serious violations of due process rights of persons detained in connection with the protests by Venezuelan authorities were also documented.
The worsening human rights situation described in this report is taking place within a wider severe economic and social crisis in the country and an increasingly unstable and polarized national political situation. At the end of the report, OHCHR offers recommendations to State authorities aimed at preventing further violence and human rights violations and in support of political dialogue, and urges the Venezuelan authorities to implement them without delay.
