Mr. Marquez, in your book you say: "I exhort the President of the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties of the International Criminal Court, ICC, Judge O-Gon Kwon, to investigate the serious faults of the Chief Prosecutor of this international organization, Fatou Bensouda, for having paralyzed the investigations on the case of Venezuela and for being an accomplice of Nicolas Maduro’s crimes against humanity, and to intervene in defense of the thousands of victims of these atrocious crimes occurred in the South American nation.”
This is a severe accusation.
More severe is the Prosecutor’s actions, who has been in the position for 16 years. As of 2012, she has been 8 years as a Deputy Prosecutor and 8 years as a General Prosecutor. Within the last 8 years, she received approximately two hundred denunciations against Nicolás Maduro, beginning on April 7, 2014, when 198 deputies from Latin America, including Colombian, Argentinean, Chilean and other countries' parliamentarians, asked the Prosecutor to initiate an investigation against Nicolás Maduro for crimes against humanity in Venezuela. Until today, there are numerous reports from Amnesty International, American Watch, and several United Nations agencies and institutions, such as the Commission and the Human Rights Council, which through the two presidents or high commissioners, have pointed out that crimes against humanity occurred in Venezuela. The former High Commissioner, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, expressly spoke of crimes against humanity even before the current President, Michelle Bachelet.
