Maduro Denounced to the ICC

On 27 September 2018, during his speech at the UN General Assembly, the President of Argentina Mauricio Macri has announced that his government together with those of Colombia, Paraguay, Perú, Chile and Canada will denounce Maduro’s regime to the ICC for crimes against humanity. This was the president’s statement: “Intelligent integration is our contribution to the building of a stable and inclusive global order that respects our values: peace, democracy and human rights. This is why I want to express, once again, our concern about the situation in Venezuela. Given its seriousness, Argentina will bring the Venezuelan dictatorship to the International Criminal Court for its crimes against humanity. I call now on Venezuela’s government to recognize the existent humanitarian crisis in order to allow international cooperation to address the health and food deprivations suffered by the displaced. Argentina has already received 130.000 Venezuelans. We are part of a regional response that seeks to mitigate the difficulties of millions of Venezuelans by receiving them and integrating them into our societies after the exodus from their country.”
