ICC: Crimes Against Humanity Have Been Committed in Venezuela
Caracas Chronicles ^ | 12/15/2020 | Naky Soto

The Armed Forces, the ruling party, the civilian informants and other entities acting parallel to the State, have violated fundamental human rights, says the ICC preliminary report

The ICC Prosecutor’s office of the ICC assured on Monday that at least since April 2017, “civilian authorities, members of the Armed Forces and pro-government officials have committed crimes against humanity in incarcerating or prohibiting physical liberty and violating fundamental rules of international law.”

It means they’re moved by the Venezuelan victims who haven’t been heard in courts in our country.

In their “Preliminary Activities Report 2020” on File I, on Venezuela, they say there’s reasonable motives to believe that crimes concerning this Court have been committed since at least 2017.

The ICC reported that due to the number of claims in this case, they focused on the subcategory of detentions, because they have plenty of trustworthy and reliable information.

In the document, they signal SEBIN, DGCIM, FAES, PNB, CICPC, the National Guard, CONAS and other units of the Armed Forces as responsible for crimes against humanity and mention that there are civilians from the regime that backed repression against the opposition, so in a potential trial, the colectivos, the regime civilian informers (patriotas cooperantes) and other para-police entities wouldn’t be left out.

The ICC Prosecutor opens another phase, focusing on proving if the State can and will investigate the people responsible for the crimes.

It’s an act of pressure and an important progress in the possibility that the ICC would formally open an investigation.

US lockdowns are a crime against humanity and I think a case could be made that US governors are violating the articles of the Geneva Convention.

Is this worth 2nd MEF and 18th Airborne Corps? It would be a glorious drop and amphibious assault, and we’d have significantly strengthened our hand in Latin America.

I would vote yes only if eradicating Hezbollah from Latin America was part of the target and VEN oil paid for the campaign.

True that. I was going to say 'leftism' as more encompassing.
