This blog is devoted to legal, historical and human rights matters, in which issues of general concern are addressed freely and spontaneously. It is intended to further an informal exchange of views in the democratic spirit of freedom of opinion and respect for the opinions of others, in an effort to understand rather than condemn, to propose constructive solutions rather than grandstand. The perspective is both from inside and outside the box and the added value lies more in the questions than in the answers.

Interview with Youri Smouther

On 8 August, I was interviewed by Youri Smouther regarding my visit in 2017 to Venezuela, in my former capacity as UN Independent Expert on the Promotion of a Democratic and Equitable International Order, and the adverse socio-economic impact of unilateral coercive measures on the Venezuelan civilian population. We also had the opportunity to discuss the situation in Cuba, the war for oil in Libya, the illegal Western/Gulf war of aggression in Syria and the need for international solidarity campaign to fight against the apartheid of indigenous people, a call for a Native Lives Matter/Indigenous Lives Matter movement and international solidarity.
