UN report implicates Venezuelan Interior Ministry in managing armed collectives

The UN Fact-Finding Mission on Venezuela released a report detailing human rights violations by pro-government armed civilian groups, 'colectivos,' and explicitly identifies the Ministry of Interior, Justice and Peace as their manager. This is the first time the UN has formally linked the ministry to the coordination of these groups, corroborating long-standing civil society allegations. The report could increase international pressure on the Maduro government and affect diplomatic dynamics.
