flag An Argentine court rules Venezuela’s national guard crimes must be prosecuted, ordering extradition of top officials.

flag An Argentine federal court has ruled that investigations into alleged crimes against humanity by Venezuela’s national guard must continue, rejecting a former officer’s appeal and affirming Argentina’s jurisdiction under universal jurisdiction. flag The case, initiated in 2023, accuses 14 officers of torture, arbitrary detention, and killings during anti-government protests starting in 2014 under Nicolás Maduro. flag Victims and human rights advocates view the proceeding as one of the few viable paths to accountability amid widespread impunity in Venezuela and delays at the International Criminal Court. flag The court has also ordered extradition requests for Maduro, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, and other top officials. flag While Maduro’s capture brought temporary relief, repression has persisted in Caracas, with pro-government paramilitary groups intensifying surveillance. flag Argentina’s experience prosecuting its own military dictatorship-era abuses informs its growing role in global justice, though shifting international priorities, including U.S. emphasis on narcoterrorism cooperation, have tempered expectations for broader democratic reforms.
