VENEZUELA: Inter-American court to announce López decision
As we went to press on 14 September, the Venezuelan opposition was waiting with bated breath for the Costa Rica-based Inter-American Court of Human Rights to make public its ruling on the case of Leopoldo López vs. the State of Venezeuela. The administration led by President Hugo Chávez appeared on the defensive in the run-up to the announcement, suggesting that the court may well have ruled against the State. Such a ruling would have import, not only in Venezuela, where it would technically require legal and institutional reforms, but also in the wider region, potentially setting a legal advocacy precedent for disenfranchised citizens.
