Since the beginning of the United States sanctions towards Venezuela in 2006, United Nation Human Rights advocates have hardly criticized those sanctions that they allegedly violate human rights but also kill children due to food insecurity as many commercial meal imports have been prohibited within those sanctions, that devastates the lives of the people, rather than restoring democracy.
Michelle Bachelet, United Nations commissioner, said that U.S. sanctions on the south-American country aggravated the situation.
“The enjoyment of economic and social rise, has continued to deteriorate dramatically since June 2018, the last time there was a report of Venezuela,” Bachelet said. “But vulnerable population such as children, pregnant women, the elderly and indigenous people have been particularly affected.”
