The Special Commission of the National Assembly (AN) that investigates Crimes against Venezuelan Migrants Abroad reports that 232 new cases have been added to the list of complaints of human rights violations against Venezuelan migrants in several countries in the region.
These 232 cases collected through the virtual office of the Special Commission are added to the 2,529 that had been previously reported by relatives of the victims.
Now the number of complaints of human rights violations against Venezuelan migrants amounts to 2,761, most of them registered in Colombia, Chile and the border between Mexico and the United States.
Julio Chávez, president of the Special Commission that investigates Crimes against Venezuelan Migrants Abroad of the AN, informs that, given this worrying situation that Venezuelans are experiencing outside their territory, next week they will present a report in the plenary session of the Venezuelan parliament with the details of all the 2,761 complaints of human rights violations against Venezuelan migrants.
At a press conference from the Francisco de Miranda room of the administrative building of the National Assembly, Chávez declared that the intention is for the parliament to raise before the national Executive the proposal to denounce before the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) the aggressions of which Venezuelan migrants abroad are victims.
“Taking the word of the Argentine president Alberto Fernández, who holds the pro tempore presidency of Celac, it is necessary that this campaign that has been carried out against Venezuelan migrants in different countries of the region with murders, discrimination, forced disappearances and rape be known. to human rights”, explains Chávez.
Similarly, the President of the Commission considers it urgent to reactivate the presence of Venezuela in the Parlasur (Parliament of Mercosur) “to denounce these aggressions that have been intensifying against the Venezuelan migrant population.”
So they don’t invite us to the summits
The President of the Special Commission that investigates crimes against Venezuelan migrants abroad of the AN states that the voice of Venezuela must reach all instances, “even if they do not invite us to these summits that are being convened, but where discusses the violation of the human rights of migrants in the Darién Gap, for example”, he says in relation to the Summit of the Americas to which Venezuela has not been invited and the recent ministerial meetings on migration held in Panama.
Chávez insists that the Commission he chairs will always seek the mechanisms and ways to show the attacks suffered by Venezuelan migrants to “stop the campaign of xenophobia, hate, discrimination, persecution, murders against the Venezuelan migrant population.”
New Migrants Law
Chávez anticipates that the Commission he chairs plans to promote a Law for Venezuelan migrants that guarantees the fundamental rights of Venezuelans abroad.
It also indicates that in the coming days they will meet with the former Chilean senator, Alejandro Navarro, who will present a report on cases of discrimination and xenophobia towards Venezuelan migrants in Chile.
