Bill > HRes1202

This Resolution denounces the efforts by the Nicolás Maduro regime to hold fraudulent legislative elections in Venezuela, which are seen as an attempt to undermine the country's democratically elected National Assembly and further erode Venezuelan democracy. It aligns with international condemnation from groups like the Lima Group and the Organization of American States, and calls for presidential and legislative elections to be held as soon as possible according to international standards for free, fair, and transparent processes, including credible international observation. The resolution also demands that the Maduro regime stop persecuting independent political parties, release all political prisoners, and end its campaign of violence and repression, noting findings that these actions amount to crimes against humanity and calling for accountability for Maduro and senior regime members.
