US Sanctions Hurts the Vulnerable in Venezuela

The UN’s human rights chief and no friend of Maduro,  Michelle Bachelet, a former president of Chile, said the latest sanctions were “extremely broad” and would hit the most vulnerable sections of society. The measures were “still likely to significantly exacerbate the crisis for millions of ordinary Venezuelans”.

"I am deeply worried about the potentially severe impact on the human rights of the people of Venezuela of the new set of unilateral sanctions imposed by the US this week," the UN human rights commissioner said in a statement. She said the measures were "still likely to significantly exacerbate the crisis for millions of ordinary Venezuelans".
