Human Rights Violations In Venezuela

This will be as much a tale about the Venezuelan people as it is about a returning immigrant who knows his homeland largely from memories and media. Though my experiences have shaped my outlook, my intention is to enter the country as a neutral and impartial writer, cognizant of daily life, yet oblivious to the fiery political discourse which consumes too many discussions.

This delicate subject is affecting millions Venezuelan citizens as well as raising concerns of family members abroad fearing for their kin. It has affected generations so much that many have decided to leave behind jobs, friends and family to flee from its own country. Venezuela is one of the most dangerous countries at present, a dangerous country where “economic crises and high inflation, like panic-induced runs on banks, generate self-serving, defensive behaviors that tend to spiral out of control,” (Corrales, 15). Venezuelan citizens are having a really difficult time realizing how bad their country is doing and how their families are trying to survive day by day.

In mid-February 2015, I began to meet people who belonged to the community of "Lomas de Rosa Inés", which is a suburb of invasion, located two blocks from my apartment, this community lives in extreme poverty in wooden houses, and on that site the Government has started a housing plan over 8 years ago and not finish it leaving it abandoned, so it was invaded by followers of the "Bolivarian revolution" and over there live many of the members of the "motorized groups" operating in the area where I lived and that are responsible of committing all sorts of crimes such as robberies, theft to stores and to extort money from merchants to let them work and are responsible for monitoring the activities of government’s opponents and sabotage the protests

The Harvard Kennedy School educated man was the head of the mayoral campaign in Venezuela and an activist in the opposition party. When the military started asking him questions about his signature gathering, it soon became clear there was a political issue at hand. "They proceeded to threaten to torture us if we didn't speak,” Marquez told NPR. He spent the next four months in a Venezuela prison, only released due to diplomatic pressure (sdfsd). Marquez is just one of many who have been imprisoned for peaceful activism. In his case, it was a protected right in Venezuela, but not even that was respected by the government. Marquez was lucky; his dual nationality helped him escape an unjust situation. But there are thousands of others who will spend years in prison for leading an activist

As a result of threats and the danger of being killed, by members of the so called "motorized collectives", which are groups of extremist leftist urban guerrillas followers of the "Bolivarian Revolution" that operate in my homeland Venezuela under protection of President Nicolas Maduro Moros, I have been forced to safeguard my personal integrity, and to flee from my country and ask for protection to the Government of the United States.

I totally agree with your post and ideas but I wonder if the patient knew she was pregnant would she still feel the same way or would she want the fetus to be saved. Gross violation of autonomy and constitutional rights. It is one thing to allow a woman to die who has been determined brain-dead, but there is another person in her womb whose life depends on her staying alive for at least another few months. Somehow, I cannot say for sure, but somehow, I believe even she would prefer to be kept on life-support, if it meant her child would survive. Can you give me a link for this Texas law? I do not see how it does not contradict a whack of other laws and possibly the constitution. If this fetus manages to survive to term, I wonder if the husband

Therefore, the inability of the family to have their detention reviewed by a court violated article 9(4). The Human Rights Committee said that domestic review of the lawfulness of detention ought to include deliberation of Australia’s obligations under the ICCPR. The Human Rights Council found an added breach of article 2(3) (the right to an effective remedy), despite this breach not being affirmed explicitly by “A”. Australia rejected the Human Rights Committee’s interpretation of the Covenant and declined to compensate the “A” family. The Human Rights Council has deemed this response from the State Party unsatisfactory.

I, YOMAIRA COROMOTO HERNANDEZ BARRENA, Venezuelan, older of age, holder of the identity card No.V-17.755.545 with passport number 101744919, I directed to you respectful citizens representatives, officials, immigration court of Miami Florida and Department of Justice, United States of America, to expose my current immigration status and briefly detail them facts and verbal, psychological and physical abuse I suffered in my country Venezuela.

Barrio Rising is a book about urban popular politics and the making of modern Venezuela. It portrays the democracy and violence in Venezuela between the 1950s and the Bolivarian Revolution of 1998. People who lived during these times protested about the unfair treatment they received from the government. They acted out in violence, guerilla warfares, and protesting. Their main goal, in these communities, was to have their voices heard and their demands met to their standards.

According to Gallup, Inc., an American research company, Venezuela was ranked as the most insecure nation in the word in the year of 2013. (Crime) This high insecurity not only affects the lives of citizens, but also foreigners in the country. The most affected group of people is the middle class, who are more concerned about such high crime rates rather than the current shortage of basic goods. In fact, Venezuelans were forced to change their ways of life due to the country’s hazardousness. The following graph illustrates the rise in the homicide rates from the years 2000-2011. This indicates that there have not been advances in the control of crime and violence in the country.

Hugo Chavez was the president of Venezuela from February 2,1999 to April,12,2002 he was re-elected on April 12,2002 and stayed in office until his death on March 5,2013.Yet his uncompromising attacks on political corruption and state incompetence struck a chord in the Venezuelan people and he won the 1998 presidential election.

However, domestic policy was more radical, with a particular focus on social programmes.Some challenges they face are Economy,housing and infrastructure,Corruption,freedom of the press and Chavez’s uncertain health.

Colombia’s stance on human rights is still a work in progress. Many people such as rights advocates Colombia’s stance on human rights is still a work in progress.

The president of Colombia made a statement that the assistance from the U.S. is very effective in the fight against human rights and drug trafficking. The U.S. secretary of State John Kerry gave great accolades on how the country of Colombia is becoming a stabilized institution

Hello, Louis here, I know it has been a while since we last spoke but I thought it would be appropriate to refresh your memory on some things, I recently turned fifteen, my family is still living in our small cramped house, and my younger brother has begun to attend elementary school for the first time. Our family is quite lucky to be blessed with a house running water and electricity. Although, we must ration the usage of these two important resources for approximately four hours of the entire day. Society here isn’t much better either as there is much corruption from the streets up to even the authorities. It is my belief that Venezuela is known for its widespread corruption from the streets climbing all the way to the government. I have
