In a precedent-setting decision on reprisals, the UN Committee against Torture found that Burundi violated the Convention against Torture by retaliating against four lawyers for their cooperating with UN human rights mechanisms. ishr.ch/latest-updates/burun…

En su acusación, el Depto de Justicia se refiere al Cartel de los Soles como un "sistema de mecenazgo", ya no un cartel; y no menciona al "fentanilo", que ha sido la excusa para los ataques en el Caribe. justice.gov/opa/media/142232… Otra cosa es acreditar hechos ante un tribunal.

¿Leyeron el @nytimes? El Dpto. de Justicia de EEUU descartó la existencia del "Cartel de los Soles", principal pretexto de Trump para invadir Venezuela e involucrar a @petrogustavo en su fantasía imperialista. Pasen la noticia, porque los grandes medios de Colombia no lo harán.

El tema clave en el juicio contra Nicolás Maduro es si goza de inmunidad como jefe de Estado. EEUU dice que no, dado que no reconoce su "legitimidad" (no lo hace Trump, tampoco lo hizo Biden). Hay un problema, sin embargo: EEUU parece reconocer a Delcy Rodríguez como presidenta.

Al hacerlo, debilita su posición ante la corte en NY. Si Edmundo González es, según EEUU, el presidente, ¿por qué reconoce e interactúa con Delcy Rodríguez? Ella es jefa de Estado y sucesora legal de Maduro. Sin quererlo, EEUU está dando razones a favor de la inmunidad de Maduro.

"The first months of the Trump administration can thus be seen as a new phase in the relationship between the United States and Latin America, marked by aggressive and overt interventionism."
