2025 - Second part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 7, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly strongly condemns the authoritarian regime of Nicolás Maduro for systematically dismantling democratic institutions, perpetrating egregious human rights violations, and orchestrating fraudulent elections that have subverted the will of the Venezuelan people. Once a prosperous nation, Venezuela is now suffering from a severe economic, social, and humanitarian crisis, brought on by the actions of this oppressive regime. The Assembly also recognises the courage and resilience of the democratic opposition of Venezuela, particularly its leader María Corina Machado, who continues to stand against the authoritarian regime despite repression, threats, and systematic persecution."
