The Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) on Saturday denounced the violence perpetrated in Venezuela, including deaths and injuries. When denounced, organizations such as Amnesty International and personalities like the secretary general of the OEA, Luis Almagro.
The episodes of violence were recorded during a day of tension along several points of the Venezuelan border for which humanitarian aid was to enter, to which the armed forces of Nicolás Maduro's regime resisted.
"IACHR urges armed forces and Venezuela's security refrain from using force; respect and guarantee the life and personal integrity of persons under its jurisdiction; and allow free movement", the agency wrote on his official Twitter account.
The organization of human rights Amnesty International has also issued a statement in which they denounce the situation before "the multiple denunciations of the use of force, attacks on protesters with firearms, including AK-type rifles, in Santa Elena de Uairén, in the area of State of Bolívar, and in other localities of Venezuela ".
Erika Guevara Rosas, director for the Americas of the organization, asked "Nicolás Maduro to put an end to the use of force." Security forces must refrain from using war rifles and other firearms against the population. Pro-activist Nicolás Maduro must be dismantled. "
In addition, he added that the armed attacks against the population "These are serious violations of human rights and crimes under international law."
For its part, the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, affirmed Saturday in Cúcuta that the regime of Nicolás Maduro "made the cowardly, the indecent" by attacking those who accompanied the humanitarian aid destined to enter the country.
"From the observation and verification that we have made to the various points, we must emphasize that the usurping dictatorship made the cowardly, the indecent, repressed the Venezuelan people and partially blocked, until now, the entrance of humanitarian aid, "Almagro said in a statement.
John Bolton, a national security adviser at the White House, also spoke about the border situation: "Hired henchmen, civilians killed by live ammunition and the burning of trucks carrying food and medicine Nicolás Maduro has been indispensable to peaceful efforts to help Venezuelans. "

The entrance of humanitarian aid to Venezuela has become the focus of interest of President Maduro and the Leader of the Opposition, Guaidó, who is recognized as acting agent in more than fifty countries.
35 years old and president of the National Legislative Assembly, Guaidó has been declared interim president and promised elections after qualifying Maduro as "usurper" of power for rigging the elections won last May.
