UN says in talks to reestablish rights office in VenezuelaGENEVA, Feb 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The United Nations rights office said Tuesday that it is in discussions with Caracas to reestablish an office in Venezuela, two years after it was kicked out. During this discussion, Turk "offered our support to help Venezuela work on a roadmap for dialogue and reconciliation in which human rights should be at the centre" of the process, she said. The rights office has been monitoring from Panama since its international staff were expelled from Venezuela in February 2024. They were asked to leave after expressing deep concern about the detention of human rights lawyer Rocio San Miguel. But, she insisted, "the terms of the law must be compliant with international human rights standards".
