CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro met with the head of the International Criminal Court as he faces an ongoing investigation by the tribunal into crimes against humanity for his crackdown on anti-government protests.
ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan didn’t make any statements following the meeting at the presidential palace in Caracas.
Khan’s fourth visit to Venezuela comes almost two months after an appeals panel ruled that the court’s investigation, first announced in 2021, could proceed over the objections of Maduro’s government.
The U.S. is not a party to the Netherlands-based ICC but has backed the probe, originally proposed by several Latin American nations, into Maduro’s responsibility for alleged abuses including arbitrary detention, torture and sexual violence committed by security forces deployed to quell protests in 2017.
