The United Nations on Wednesday criticized the rights violations of demonstrators in the northeast of the country.
The UN high commissioner for human rights “expressed serious concern regarding the violations of economic, social and cultural rights in the Catatumbo region” via a statement from the agency’s office.
“Despite its natural wealth, the region has a high index of unsatisfied basic needs. Its population lacks adequate food, health, education, electricity, water supply, sewerage, roads and access to decent work.”
Representatives of the UN office visited the Catatumbo region in the last week of June and met with farmers, civil and military authorities.
