The Criminal Cassation Chamber of the legitimate Venezuelan Supreme Court has decided, from exile, to submit human rights violation charges against Nicolás Maduro’s regime with the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
“Given the inactivity of the Courts of the Republic of Venezuela, as well as the lack of investigation by the Public Prosecutor’s Office … we hereby send our formal charges and all relevant attachments to the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and a certified copy of it to the Security Council of the United Nations,” a Supreme Court statement said.
The decision to send the case to the Hague was motivated by the fact that the Criminal Cassation Chamber is not formally responsible for pressing charges in and of itself, as this “is a function exclusive to the Attorney General’s Office of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.”
The legitimate Court also “asks the Security Council of the United Nations” to consider taking action against high officials of the regime and alerting Interpol so they can respond to the complaint of the violation of human rights.
The court named Nicolás Maduro along with Minister of the Interior Néstor Reverol, Minister of Defense Vladimir Padrino López and other members of the Chavista government.
Though the Supreme Court is not recognized by the Venezuelan dictatorship, it does have the support of the international community. The Organization of American States (OAS) recognizes them, and has even given them space in their headquarters. The European parliament recognizes them too because they were legitimately appointed by the Venezuelan National Assembly.

Vraag is of Venezuela het Hof in Den Haag erkent. De VS doet dat niet.
I.v.m. restructurering geldleningen door Rusland aan Venezuela (goedgekeurd door China) zullen deze landen alles m.b.t. ‘straffen’ van Venezuela van veto voorzien. Dus, blijft enkel het Hof in Den Haag over als pressiemiddel. Dat is als Venezuela dat erkent want anders heeft zo’n aanklacht van het Hooggerechtshof van Venezuela totaal geen nut.
@ Hoedanook, kan je het ff vertalen voor de mondy bewoners, dan weten we het waar het over gaat, of moeten we dombo het kleine Olifantje blijven , die staat trouwens Roce????zwarte/drugge poen/ tee op een mooie kruising, hoe beter kan je de regering uitdagen Gertje,.??
Does Venezuela recognize the Court in The Hague? The US doesn’t.
Since Venezuela assured itself from veto-support from Russia an China at the security council level, the Court in The Hague is another mechanism to apply pressure.
