Their choice must be respected.<\/p>\n<p>We took note that more than 80 percent of the tally sheets, \u201cactas\u201d in Spanish, published by civil society and the democratic opposition, received directly from polling stations, and corroborated by independent observers show a different outcome than that reported by Venezuela\u2019s National Electoral Council (CNE).<\/p>\n<p>In light of the ruling by Venezuela\u2019s Supreme Court (TSJ) we urge the CNE to immediately publish the presidential election voting results from all polling stations and allow for the impartial verification of results by independent observers to promote credibility, legitimacy, and a transparent electoral process.<\/p>\n<p>We take note of the UN Panel of Experts interim report, which found that the electoral process fell short of \u201cthe basic transparency and integrity measures\u201d essential to holding credible elections. The Panel reviewed a sample of the \u201cactas\u201d in the public domain, which exhibited \u201call the security features of the original result protocols\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Now is the time for all Venezuelans to begin constructive and inclusive discussions to resolve this electoral impasse and restore democratic norms peacefully in accordance with Venezuelan electoral law and the wishes of the Venezuelan people.<\/p>\n<p>We are gravely concerned about reported human rights abuses and violations following the elections, including those involving repression, arbitrary arrests and detentions, killings, denials of fair trial guarantees as well as intimidation tactics against the democratic opposition, including the raid of the opposition\u2019s headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>We express deep concern with the politically motivated arrest warrant by Venezuelan authorities issued on September 3 for Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez Urrutia that has forced him into exile.<\/p>\n<p>It is imperative to promote respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in Venezuela, including the right of individuals to assemble peacefully without reprisal.<\/p>\n<p>On August 16, the OAS resolution, which passed by consensus, made the region\u2019s position clear. Our statements and actions at the UN, the OAS, and elsewhere are a testament to the strength of member states\u2019 commitment to promoting human rights and the rule of law.<\/p>\n<p>We fully support an inclusive, Venezuelan-led process to re-establish democratic norms in Venezuela and stand by the millions of Venezuelans who continue to risk their lives and well-beings for a more democratic, prosperous, and secure Venezuela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joint Statement signed by Albania, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El\u00a0 Salvador, Estonia, EU, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Panama, Paraguay , Poland, Portugal, [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":7594,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7591"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7591\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7603,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7591\/revisions\/7603"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
