Venezuela withdraws from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights
As stated in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela, by a similar decision, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights openly admitted its involvement in "Washington's policy to protect terrorists who attack the peoples of our America."
“You shouldn’t wait any longer ... we are leaving the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to respect our dignity,” said Chavez during a ceremony marking the day of the national naval forces.
For committing a terrorist attack that killed four people, Diaz was sentenced to 9 years in prison. However, in 2010, he left the country after the court allowed him to leave prison for several hours a day for work. After that, Diaz sought asylum in the United States and filed charges against the Venezuelan authorities.
In 2011, Chavez proposed the creation of an international tribunal and a commission on human rights within the framework of the South American Union of Nations, which, in his opinion, would contribute to greater independence of the states in the indicated bloc.
