The South African Ambassador to Venezuela, Joseph Nkosi, reported that the Government of the African country will ask the Human Rights Council of the United Nations to vote to approve the report “The truth of Venezuela in the face of infamy” that addresses the efforts of Venezuelan on this issue.
“We are going to speak with nations of our continent and the world to support this report that we will ask to be submitted to vote at the Human Rights Council and also we will request a vote rejecting the report presented by that ‘independent mission’ made remotely and that does not reflect the reality of what happens in this country,” he said.
