Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez reiterated that organisms such as the “awful, rotten and degenerate” Human Rights Inter American Court (CIDH) and the Inter American Court should disappear since they are “not worthy of the new world” ratifying his country will pull out from the two.

Aug 06th, 2012 - 11:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Democracy is fast becoming a thing of the past in Venezula. Already it's considered illegal to critise the government, how long before secret police start 'detaining' people without charge or trial, or indeed before they start 'disappearing' people all together?
Surely then Venezuela should abandon Chavez, what with him being awful and rotten too.
Aug 06th, 2012 - 12:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 01 & 2. Let the backslide of south america continue, who would of thought in the 21century some countries would want to embrace the ideas of Marxism–Leninism. Did they not learn anything form the past!.
Aug 06th, 2012 - 01:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder what BK will say about this? “i have pride in hugo, showing bourgeois democracies how to stand up for the workers”.
Just putting into words what we all knew anyway. Human rights are just something that get in the way of what most LatAm leaders have planned for their countries.

Problem with your human watch is that your goverments treats the rest of the “3rd world” as animals, you guys being the only one with rights...
Aug 06th, 2012 - 02:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If I changed the statements above by replacing the word Venezuela or LatAM Leaders with USA, all of the comments make perfect sense. Try it... it works beautifully.
Aug 06th, 2012 - 02:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Guzz.... you are always above the fray with your comments. Keep it up.
@5 Are you not pleased to be correctly identified? Perhaps, in time, you can be trained. The cattle prods. The whips. The thumbscrews. Can you suggest anything you wouldn't like?
Aug 06th, 2012 - 03:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6 Why change anything? Or does the truth hurt? As for “Guzz”. A perfect replacement for a sewage works. Something that turns ordinary “sewage” into a different class of “sewage”. “Sh*tty sewage” perhaps? “Diarrhoea sewage”? “Dead sewage”? “Necrophiliac sewage”?
Pulling out of the Inter American Human courts, that does not bode very well with human rights, I wonder how long it will be before Argentina follows suit closely followed by a joint invasion of Falklands as for them it would be legal its not as if either recognize The falklanders as a people with rights, is it?
Aug 06th, 2012 - 03:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I thought this F*cker was dead or dying ,hurry it up we havent got all day...actually WE have.......
@8 Are there any “human rights” in LatAm? I'm not fond of the “European” idea of “human rights”. You're a murderer, a rapist, a paedophile, an illegal immigrant (a South American), but we can't deport you because of your human right to a “family life” with a girlfriend you live 100 miles away from, a child you've never seen, a cat/mouse/rat/earthworm/louse/flea/tapeworm. But, if you're in South America, you should have a legal right to kill Chavez or, at least, stamp on his balls with spiked running shoes?
Aug 06th, 2012 - 04:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0europe and south american human rights are two ends of the spectrum, one extreme to the other, Human rights should only apply to those who believe and practise such and not for those who violate or ignore the human rights of another.

Aug 06th, 2012 - 05:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Every democratic government on the continent has criticised me on this matter.
You see I am like Gaddafi. One day I look north to the developed world, the next I look south to my own continent. Like Gaddafi you will learn that I am totally unreliable and self-serving. Grandstanding and bandstanding, spewing oil over the Orinoco and petro dollars over my corruptible Bolivarian brothers as my tentacles of crookedness reach down to the river plate, fomenting crime, criminality and the Venezuelization of your tinpot Repulic.
Long live the Bolivarian Revolution!

Lugo seems to have some time for the IAC....

Aug 09th, 2012 - 01:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0Thats certainly the bigger picture =) As for this court I don't know if its rotten, we might get a better idea of that when we see how it handles Lugo's case
