Mexico City, Mexico – Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro welcomed the opening of an International Criminal Court (ICC) office in Caracas after a three-day visit by prosecutor Karim Khan.

At a joint press conference, Maduro said “the doors of Venezuela were open” to the court’s lead prosecutor and his team.

Khan’s visit to the Caribbean country is the second since he announced his decision to open a full-scale investigation into alleged human rights abuses in Venezuela. During his visit in November, the government of Venezuela and Khan signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to facilitate cooperation.

Khan announced that as part of efforts to facilitate cooperation, the ICC would open a “technical assistance office” in Caracas.
