In a surprise move, the Venezuelan government has ordered the United Nations (UN) office on human rights to suspend its operations within the country. The authorities have given the staff a strict deadline of three days to leave the nation.
The decision to shut down the local UN office in Caracas has sparked concerns among international human rights organizations, who fear that this move might further undermine the already critical human rights situation in Venezuela. This move follows an ongoing pattern of deteriorating relations between the Venezuelan government and various international bodies.
