In a video posted on his Twitter account, Constant highlighted this as a new victory for Venezuela in the UN Human Rights Council. “I’m here with the Minister of Social and Territorial Matters of Venezuela and the Minister for Youth and Sports, Mervin Maldonado, just after leaving the Human Rights Council, where Venezuela has emerged victorious,” said Constant.

Minister Mervin Maldonado also emphasized that the Bolivarian peace diplomacy continues to achieve victories for the country. “We have come on behalf of President Nicolás Maduro, for the adoption of the third universal periodic review of Human Rights,” he said.

Hector Constant stated that Maldonado’s visit to the UN has been very important because “it allows us to continue consolidating the welfare state and justice, to continue advancing in our great achievements in terms of human rights in Venezuela.”

After the adoption of the third report, Maldonado held a “constructive meeting with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet,” Ambassador Constant wrote on Twitter. “The meeting served to recognize and strengthen existing cooperation,” he added.
