A resolution recognizing Nobel Prize winner Maria Corina Machado and reaffirming support for democracy in Venezuela.

SRES 462 is a symbolic Senate resolution honoring María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize for her democratic efforts. It recognizes the legitimate 2024 Venezuelan election results won by opposition candidate Edmundo González, which the Maduro regime refused to accept. The resolution calls for Machado’s safety, the release of political prisoners, and the regime’s recognition of the election. As a non-binding expression of congressional support, it does not create new laws or policy changes but reaffirms U.S. commitment to democracy in Venezuela.
