<p>The United Kingdom remains alarmed at the deteriorating human rights situation
in Venezuela. Actions of the Maduro regime have led to social and economic collapse
and millions of misplaced people including many refugees, to neighbouring countries
threatening regional stability and security. It is a man-made humanitarian crisis
exacerbated by years of economic mismanagement, hyperinflation, shortages of food
and medicine, and very serious human rights violations.</p><p>As a member of the Human
Rights Council, Venezuela has a duty to uphold the highest standards of human rights
and cooperate with the Council and its mechanisms. The United Kingdom will continue
to support the work done by the Human Rights Council in Venezuela, and is committed
to supporting a broad human rights agenda in the country.</p>
