To the honorable Mr. António Guterres, United Nations General Secretary,

To the honorable members of the International Law Commission,

To the honorable Prof. Alena Douhan, UN Special Rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights,

To the honorable Mr. Livingstone Sewanyana, Independent Expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order,

We, as organizations and individuals in defense of human rights, peace, and international law, are writing to you to express our concern about the constant threats to world peace and security posed by the repeated assassination plots registered against the constitutional president of Venezuela, Mr. Nicolás Maduro Moros. 

As you are well aware, President Maduro is an internationally protected person under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes Against Internationally Protected Persons, including diplomatic agents. This convention establishes the obligation of states to ensure the protection of persons holding high-level positions in the government, including the Head of State.

The convention also establishes that states must prevent, investigate, and punish acts of violence against such persons. Despite these international obligations, we have observed how the assassination attempts against President Maduro have gone largely ignored.

These acts of violence not only endanger the life of an internationally protected person but also the democratic order of Venezuela, as well as regional and global peace and stability. In this regard, we respectfully request to you the opening of a full investigation into these assassination attempts in Venezuela and to hold responsible parties accountable.

It is important to acknowledge that these assassination plots are taking place in a country that is subject to over 900 unilateral coercive measures. These measures threaten Venezuela's right to development and contradict the principles of sovereignty affirmed in the Charter of the United Nations.

We appreciate your attention to this urgent matter and trust that you will take steps to prevent the establishment of a dangerous precedent that would compromise international peace and security.

This coming July 28, popular will and peace will prevail in Venezuela's elections.
