The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (CPI) will dictate on March 1 the sentence related to the appeal made by the administration of Nicolás Maduro in the investigation of crimes against humanity in the country.
The event will be celebrated during a public hearing in The Haguewhich will have representatives of the Maduro administration, as well as members of the Public Office for the Defense of Victims.
In November last year, Yvan Gilchancellor of the Nicolás Maduro administration, assured that the regime has not committed crimes against humanity and instead He referred to the issue as just a “handful of incidents” that occurred.
Gil assured that they are being investigated in the country and asked the ICC to use its resources for cases such as “the unspeakable conflagration of violence” in the Gaza Strip.
“More than 255 State agents were charged, 64 accused and 62 convicted”Gil explained for cases “of human rights violations that are of interest” to the ICC.
“In Venezuela, each and every investigation has been carried out independently and responding to the evidence obtained in each of the cases. What can never be expected is for Venezuela to artificially construct unfounded accusations against specific objectives, simply to satisfy the claims of certain internal and external actors.”he continued.

**Interview with Dr. Maria Torres, International Law Expert**
**Interviewer**: Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Torres. Can you explain the significance of the recent amendments made by the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to their Regulations?
**Dr. Maria Torres**: Thank you for having me. The recent amendments are crucial as they reflect the ICC’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its procedural framework. Specifically, the changes to regulation 64, introduced on July 12, 2017, allow for greater clarity and efficiency in the appeals process, which is essential in cases involving complex international law issues.
**Interviewer**: How do these amendments potentially impact ongoing investigations, particularly those related to Venezuela?
**Dr. Maria Torres**: These amendments provide a clearer process for how appeals can be handled, which could significantly affect ongoing investigations. For instance, with the ICC currently investigating allegations of crimes against humanity in Venezuela, the ability to more efficiently manage appeals related to this case could influence the pace and outcome of the investigation. The understanding of appeal timelines is particularly critical in these sensitive situations.
**Interviewer**: There have been discussions about the extent of the ICC’s authority in various regions. With these updates, what message does the ICC send regarding its role?
**Dr. Maria Torres**: The ICC is reinforcing its role as an essential body for international justice. By updating its regulations, it signals that it is adapting to the complexities of contemporary challenges. This is especially relevant in regions like Venezuela, where there is significant international concern about human rights violations. The ICC wants to convey its readiness to engage meaningfully with these issues while ensuring an equitable legal process.
**Interviewer**: Looking ahead, what do you believe will be the long-term implications of these amendments on international law and justice?
**Dr. Maria Torres**: In the long term, I believe these amendments could lead to increased trust in the ICC’s processes. If stakeholders see that the Court can handle appeals efficiently and transparently, it may encourage more countries to cooperate with the ICC. Additionally, it emphasizes the role of the Court in upholding accountability, which could deter future violations by state actors, knowing that a robust legal framework is in place to address grievances.
**Interviewer**: Thank you, Dr. Torres, for your insights on this important topic.
**Dr. Maria Torres**: My pleasure! Thank you for shedding light on these developments.
