In its September 2022 report to the Human Rights Council, the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission noted that the investigation leading to the drafting of its report ‘faced a series of limitations in particular due to security concerns, including victims’ fear of reprisals’. They further noted that security concerns would likely curtail the Mission’s ability to conduct effective investigations in the country (A/HRC/51/43, para. 7). In October 2022, the Human Rights Council adopted resolution 51/29 on the situation of human rights in Venezuela urging Venezuela to ensure that all individuals have unhindered access to and can communicate with the United Nations and other human rights entities without fear of reprisal, intimidation or attack (A/HRC/RES/51/29, OP 11).
