Petition to the Government of Canada
- On September 22, 2017, the Government of Canada imposed new sanctions against Venezuela, Venezuelan officials, and other individuals under the Special Economic Measures Act in violation of the sovereignty of Venezuela;
- Such sanctions impede dialogue and peace-building in Venezuela and in the region more generally;
- These sanctions impede the normal operation of Venezuela’s duly constituted political processes including elections;
- The Government of Canada has supported the U.S. government’s sanctions against Venezuela
- The Government of Canada has met with, supported, and continues to echo the demands of Venezuela’s violent anti-government opposition;
- The Government of Canada refuses to recognize the legitimacy of Venezuela’s democratically elected government and falsely refers to it as dictatorial; and
- The government of Canada seeks to promote foreign intervention in the internal affairs of Venezuela.
