RECOMMENDATIONS
208.
Based on the foregoing conclusions,
THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS RECOMMENDS TO THE STATE OF
VENEZUELA,
1.
To reinstate victims to the civil service on a job similar to the one they would currently hold,
had they not been separated from their posts. Should this not be the will of the victims or that there are
objective reasons which prevent the reincorporation, the State must pay compensation for this, which is
independent of the repairs relating to the material and moral damage in the recommendation number two.
2.
To provide adequate compensation for the human rights violations declared in this report
both material and morally.
3.
To carry out the corresponding criminal, administrative or other proceedings related to the
human rights violations declared in this report, in an impartial, effective and within a reasonable time manner,
in order to fully clarify the facts and to establish the respective responsibilities.
4.
To adopt the necessary measures of non-repetition to prevent future occurrence of similar
events. In particular, adopt legislative, administrative or other measures to prevent discrimination for political
reasons. In this context, to ensure the existence of clear rules on access and use of data collected in electoral
processes, with the necessary safeguards to ensure the free expression of political opinions without fear of
reprisals. In addition, to carry out training programs: i) to public officials at all levels on the prohibition of
discrimination based on political opinion; and ii) to legal practitioners called upon to hear any allegations of
covert discrimination or misuse of power.
