Troubling reports of impunity still surround some of the killings and abuses perpetrated during the protests. But does Venezuela’s human rights situation really justify sanctions? If so, then why hasn’t the U.S. government sanctioned authorities in Colombia, where the army reportedly executed at least 5763 innocent civilians between 2000 and 2010? Why hasn’t it sanctioned Honduras, where security forces regularly commit extrajudicial killings in impunity? Or what about Mexico, where 43 students were recently disappeared, and most likely all killed, with the alleged complicity of both local and federal police? Instead of penalizing the governments of these countries, the U.S. continues to send them hundreds of millions of dollars of security assistance. So where do the sanctions against Venezuela come from? thehill/blogs/pundits-blog/international/227648-one-step-forward-one-step-back-in-us-latin-america-policy
