The Minister of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, reiterated this Friday the non-compliance with the fundamental principles of the work of the Office of the High Commissioner of the United Nations (UN) for Human Rights (DDHH), and therefore demanded respect for the sovereignty of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Through his account on the social network X, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister reiterated that cooperation with the South American nation “must be aimed at strengthening public institutions and not at discrediting them with the intention of protecting them”, referring to the actions of this UN body in defense of conspiratorial actions against the Homeland.

“Venezuela is a sovereign nation that requires respect for its sovereignty and the founding charter of the United Nations,” Gil said in his repeated response to the statement of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, regarding the arrest of Rocío San Miguel, accused of being linked to the “White Bracelet” magnicidal plan, with which it was intended to assassinate President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro.

The minister noted that “the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights violated fundamental principles in its work and took a biased stance in the face of serious events, such as the assassination attempt and the frustrated plans to sweep Venezuelan institutions and the peace of Venezuelans and Venezuelan women.”

At a press conference at Casa Amarilla Antonio José de Sucre, the Venezuelan diplomat announced this Thursday the decision of the Bolivarian Government to suspend the activities of the Technical Advisory Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights operating in Caracas, with 72 hours for officials of this body to leave the country.
