The Government may say. It may do, or you may say you will do. Right, and in honor of the language of Cervantes, it is that they are not the same verbs say and do.
That are convinced 37 organizations that defend human rights in Venezuela, critics of the initiatives of President Nicolas Maduro to extend the guarantees of these universal powers in the country, but in practice, desdicen of international standards and principles in the matter.
