The United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) faces an uncertain future in Venezuela after being expelled from the country in February 2024. The expulsion followed the OHCHR’s concerns regarding the detention and subsequent enforced disappearance of activist Rocío San Miguel, an expert on military affairs. Venezuelan authorities, under Nicolás Maduro, accused the office of bias, exceeding its technical mandate, and supporting individuals they labeled as conspirators. The OHCHR had maintained a technical office in Venezuela to monitor and report on human rights conditions. Its removal raises concerns about independent human rights monitoring within the nation. The possibility of a permanent presence for the office remains unclear following these developments.
