Through an official statement, the Government and the People of Venezuela reject the unfounded accusations and lies issued by the false and shameful International Fact-Finding Mission in its recent presentation to the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations, in Geneva.

The letter was published in the X account of the Minister of People 's Power for Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, who pointed out that this action violates, “once again, all the principles of the UN Charter, in order to continue trying to promote the failed policy of “regime change”, instructed by the United States of America”.

Below is the full text of the statement:

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela categorically rejects the unfounded accusations and lies issued by the false and shameful International Fact-Finding Mission in its recent presentation to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations in Geneva, violating, once again, all the principles of the UN Charter, in order to continue trying to promote the failed policy of “regime change”, instructed by the United States of America.

This ridiculous and perverse Mission was promoted by the failed Cartel of countries that joined the so-called “Lima Group”, made up of ultra-right governments, which were one by one driven from power by their peoples and that today are a bad memory in our region. Most of these governments have outstanding accounts with Human Rights, which have not been evaluated by the complicit and politicized system that, unfortunately, today focuses exclusively on attacking sovereign governments and peoples.

The world today witnessed one of the most shameful pages in the field of Human Rights, a Mission that issues biased trials for purely political purposes, complicit with extremist sectors that have promoted inhumane sanctions against Venezuela, and have repeatedly exhibited plans to assassinate its president and cause chaos and destruction to its people.

The UN Human Rights Council must immediately dismiss any rigged argument of this mission, which has not set foot in our country, and which uses unprofessional methods to present a partisan pamphlet that must be categorically rejected.

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela does not accept, nor will it accept, any measure that emerges from this rejection, presented to a Council that has done nothing to stop the genocide of the Palestinian people and the consequent violation of Human Rights, which has constituted the greatest contempt for the fundamental principles of human life, known since the Second World War. The System created to protect peoples has become the main ally and protector of their perpetrators.

Venezuela reaffirms its commitment to the promotion, respect and protection of human rights as a supreme value, in line with its international obligations. Once again, we urge the Human Rights Council and its Mechanisms to cooperate and move forward on the basis of genuine dialogue and with respect for the principles of universality, objectivity, impartiality, non-selectivity and with full commitment to sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs.
