Simon Bolivar, which inspired the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
celebrates Human Rights Day and the anniversary of this historic
document that represents a global commitment to their protection and promotion.
Venezuela
calls on the international community to respect the principles contained in
this valuable international declaration and to avoid the instrumentalization of the
noble cause of human rights for political purposes,
an action that has done immense harm to humanity.
The Venezuelan Government and
People reiterate their firm commitment to the promotion, protection and
enjoyment of all human rights and highlight this day as a new
opportunity to redouble efforts in this area in the face of the prevailing need to enforce the Universal Declaration, especially in the face
of the atrocities
that are being experienced in Palestine.
The
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reiterates that its commitment to Human Rights is
inalienable as mandated by our Constitution and in this regard informs that cooperation
has been re-established with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human
