Venezuela: Human Rights

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he (a) has taken since his appointment and (b) plans to take in the next six months at UN level in respect of human rights in Venezuela; and if he will make a statement.

We have not had discussions with the Secretary General of the United Nations on human rights in Venezuela. However, we do work closely with the UN on the ground. We have helped refugees on the Venezuela-Colombian border in joint projects with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and are in regular contact with them.
