Venezuela says it's already made major strides in human rights, but plans to do more over the next four years.


Venezuela announced Tuesday a four year plan to improve human rights, including institutional reform and better coordination with social movements.

Announced by Vice President Jorge Arreaza and Security Vice President Carmen Melendez, the 2015-2019 National Plan for Human Rights aims to consolidate Venezuela's progress in promoting human rights.

“Human rights are indivisible,” Arreaza stated.

According to Arreaza, the new human rights plan will focus on promoting a “culture of human rights.” The plan will also involve strengthening existing human rights institutions.

1. Big talk coming from a regime with over 60 political prisoners

This is just another attempt at trying to look sane in front of the eyes of the world. The Chavista delegation had their asses handed to them some weeks ago in the UN human rights evaluation in Geneva, and it seems it's left them butthurt and now are desperately attempting to save face.
