This Senate resolution (SRES 339) condemns Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's government for ongoing human rights violations, political repression, and undermining democratic processes, including election interference and the detention of opposition figures. It specifically recognizes the leadership of Venezuelan opposition figures María Corina Machado and Edmundo González amid their efforts to restore democracy. The resolution urges Maduro to release all political prisoners, calls on the U.S. administration to support a democratic transition in Venezuela, and affirms U.S. Senate support for Venezuela’s democratic opposition.
