VENEZUELA: OHCHR resumes activities in Venezuela
The Caracas office of the United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is set to reopen, nearly a year after Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro expelled its staff in February. Without providing specific details, the UN high commissioner for human rights, Volker Türk, said on 9 December that the OHCHR has “been able to resume partly our activities” in Venezuela. Türk added that he hoped that UN staff would be able to recommence prison visits and monitoring of trials, although he did not provide a timeframe for this.
