Venezuela’s representative to the UN Human Rights Council, Marisela del Valle Rojas Garmendia, stated the government does not accept responsibility for the forced migration of over eight million Venezuelans. Instead, officials attribute the mass exodus to “external factors,” offering no specific details regarding these influences. This denial comes amidst ongoing international scrutiny regarding the humanitarian crisis and political instability within Venezuela. The statement was made during a session of the UN Human Rights Council. Critics argue the government’s policies are the primary driver of the migration, citing economic collapse, political repression, and widespread violence. The Venezuelan government has consistently downplayed its role in the crisis, resisting calls for independent investigations. This latest declaration is expected to further fuel international debate over the situation.
