ICC Office in Venezuela is an opportunity to strengthen the Justice System | Video

Caracas, Jun 19 (EFE) - The installation of an office of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in Venezuela represents a step forward that will allow the prosecutor of the international body, Karim Khan, to learn the Venezuelan context and contribute to strengthening the justice system, in which the will of the State is indispensable.

Statements by analyst Simón Gómez Guaimar, lawyer specializing in international law:

The purpose of this office is to provide technical assistance to the institutions of the Venezuelan justice system, so that it can also serve as an opportunity to co-help rescue the institutionalism of the justice system in Venezuela.

Yes, obviously technical assistance in the first place will strengthen or seek to strengthen the justice system in Venezuela. But according to the provisions of the memorandum of understanding that was signed by both parties, which is not yet known, it has not been made public, what would be reasonable is that it establishes some deadlines or that it will determine some form of accountability or establishment of results, in relation to the management of this technical assistance.
