This resolution strongly condemns Nicolas Maduro's regime for its persistent human rights abuses, political repression, and systematic dismantling of democratic institutions in Venezuela since 2013. The regime has repeatedly failed to uphold commitments for free and fair elections, notably violating the October 2023 electoral roadmap agreement and unjustly barring opposition candidate Maria Corina Machado from the July 2024 presidential election. Despite these efforts, independent vote tallies indicated Edmundo Gonzalez as the legitimate victor, a result the regime refused to acknowledge, further undermining the democratic will of the Venezuelan people. Following the July 2024 election, the Maduro regime significantly escalated its suppression of dissent, including cracking down on peaceful protesters, launching operations like "Bolivarian Fury" and "Operation Knock Knock," and issuing arrest warrants for opposition figures such as Edmundo Gonzalez and Maria Corina Machado. This repression led to arbitrary arrests, forced disappearances, and deaths in custody, with hundreds of political prisoners remaining incarcerated. The resolution recognizes the steadfast leadership of the democratic opposition, particularly Maria Corina Machado , and urges the Maduro regime to release all illegitimately held political prisoners and foreign nationals. It also calls on the U.S. administration to remain committed to advancing a peaceful, democratic transition of power in Venezuela to address the country's ongoing humanitarian, political, and economic crises.
