English/Español: Rubio, Menendez Urge Biden to Support Renewal of Venezuela Human Rights Fact-Finding Mission to Hold Maduro Regime Accountable
The United Nations Human Rights Council’s Independent International Fact-Finding Mission in Venezuela (FFM) plays a critical role in responding to the Maduro narco-regime’s systematic violations of human rights, including its methods of social, political, and economic manipulation. The man-made crisis in Venezuela has caused the mass exodus of at least 6.8 million Venezuelans across our hemisphere.
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ) are calling on the Biden Administration to support renewing the Venezuela FFM and to take steps to elevate the FFM to a Commission of Inquiry.
- “It is our view that the scale, intensity, and persistence of the Maduro regime’s behavior must be investigated and held accountable alongside those in power in Burma, Russia, and Syria—all of whom are currently being investigated by a Commission of Inquiry.”
- “The Venezuela FFM’s important work must continue. In the face of the growing exodus of refugees and migrants from the country, the mission must be able to fully investigate and build a credible body of information documenting the regime’s crimes against the Venezuelan people. By elevating the mission to a Commission of Inquiry, it would accomplish this goal.”
Senators Jim Risch (R-ID) and Tim Kaine (D-VA) also signed the letter.

La Misión internacional independiente de determinación de los hechos sobre Venezuela (FFM) de las Naciones Unidas desempeña un rol fundamental en la respuesta a las violaciones sistemáticas a los DDHH por parte del narco-régimen de Maduro, incluyendo sus métodos de manipulación social, política y económica. La crisis provocada por la dictadura criminal de Venezuela ha causado el éxodo masivo de al menos 6.8 millones de venezolanos en todo nuestro hemisferio.
Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Bob Menendez (D-NJ) están pidiendo a la Administración Biden que apoye la renovación de la FFM de Venezuela y tome medidas para elevar la FFM a una Comisión de Investigación.
-
“Creemos que la escala, la intensidad y la persistencia del comportamiento del régimen de Maduro deben investigarse y que debe rendir cuentas junto con quienes están en el poder en Birmania, Rusia y Siria, los cuales están siendo investigados actualmente por una Comisión de Investigación”.
-
“El importante trabajo del FFM de Venezuela debe continuar. Ante el creciente éxodo de refugiados y migrantes del país, la misión debe poder investigar a fondo y construir un cuerpo de información creíble que documente los crímenes del régimen contra el pueblo venezolano. Al elevar la misión a una Comisión de Investigación, se lograría este objetivo”.
Los senadores Jim Risch (R-ID) y Tim Kaine (D-VA) también firmaron la carta.
