Analyzing Obstacles to Venezuela's Future
CSIS BRIEFS CSIS Analyzing Obstacles to Venezuela’s Future By Moises Rendon, Mark Schneider, & Jaime Vazquez NOVEMBER 2019 THE ISSUE Despite stiff sanctions, diplomatic isolation, and internal civil protests, Nicolas Maduro and his inner circle have resisted the pressures to negotiate an exit. Three internationally-sponsored dialogue processes and two efforts at mediated negotiations within the last five years have failed, with Maduro using the time to intensify his hold on power. Different factors are impeding a transition in Venezuela. This brief investigates challenges and opportunities to help support a transition toward democracy. It describes the possible role of a Track II diplomacy initiative to produce a feasible exit ramp for Maduro—essentially the achievement of significant progress outside of the formal negotiation process. The brief also discusses potential roles for chavistas in today’s struggle and for ‘day after’ challenges, the required elements for a transitional justice process, and the basic conditions necessary for holding free and fair elections to elect a new president. BACKGROUND undiminished support from Russia, China, and Cuba, have Amid numerous blackouts, fuel shortages impacting complicated efforts to achieve a political accord leading to a agriculture and food production, and inflation on pace democratic transition. to reach over 10 million percent by the end of 2019, Venezuela’s humanitarian, economic, and political crisis QUICK FACTS has forced more than 4 million citizens to flee their • According to the United Nations, Venezuela will homeland.

Pueblos Educador De
EDUCADOR DE PUEBLOS CARACAS JUNIO 1958 "Para que haya conciencia que se yerga a defender los intereses económicos de la Nación, precisa que previamente existan vivencias morales unitivas". Mario Bríceüo Iragorry. 3 Escolar: Este folleto llega a tus manas gracias a la deferencia de las autoridades de tu Estado. A los maestros: Sugerimos que durante el trabajo de Castellano se lea a los alumnos de grados inferiores los pasajes que ustedes consideren oportuno. Trujillo: 15 de septiembre de 1897 En la ciudad de Trujillo, capital del Estado del mismo nombre, nació un 15 de septiembre del año 1897 el Doctor Don Mario Briceño Iragorry. Fueron sus padres Don Jesús Briceño Valero y Doña María Iragorry, ambos de estirpe trujillana. Pero vamos a ceder la palabra al insigne maestro para que él nos explique sus orígenes: "El abuelo se afanaba en rudos trabajos de artesanía y comercio; ¡a dulce abuela cuidaba la casa, y en ella, con estímulo singular, la educación de los niños. Posiblemente había ya por 1870 escuelas de primeras letras en el encantador pueblecito de San Lázaro; más la di- ligente madre se empeñaba en la obra de iluminar por sí misma la con- ciencia de los hijos. Cuando mi padre alcanzó los veinte años, la abuela le hizo via- jar ala capital de la provincia, para que anipliase el radio de los pocos conocimientos adquiridos en el modesto pueblo de San Lázaro y para que trocase como oficio de mejor provecho el magisterio de párvulos que compartía con el hermano mayor. En Trujillo mi padre se hizo de buenos amigos que le facilitaron libros, y ayudado de escaso sueldo, tuvo para sufragar el estipendio de las clases particulares que recibió del sabio Don Rafael María Urrecheaga. -

Victor Bezru- chenko was recused from further team work after accepting a position with the ICTY. Text regarding mortar attacks in Sarajevo and Tuzla was based in part on Benjamin Rusek and Charles Ingrao, “The ‘Mortar Massacres’ Revisited” that appeared in Nationalities Papers 32/4 (December 2004), which was subsequently republished in Thomas emmert and Charles In- grao, eds., Conflict in Southeastern Europe at the End of the Twentieth Century: A Scholars’ Initiative (new York & london: Routledge, 2006). Dubravko lovrenović worked tirelessly to recruit Bosnian scholars during his tenure as team co-leader (2001-2003). The National Endow- ment for Democracy funded individual research by Darko Gavrilović, Toni Petković, and Mirsad Tokača’s Research & Documentation Center. The team also benefited from counsel and research material data provided by Directors Dr. Paul Richard Blum and the nederlands Instituut voor Oor- logsdocumentatie (nIOD), Dr. Smail čekić and the Institute for the Re- search of Crimes against Humanity & International law, and Dr. Kathryne Bomberger and the International Commission for Missing Persons (ICMP).

Thank you very much for coming to the table. A reminder about our methodology: everything said at this table is on background for now but we are recording the session and will produce a transcript.1 You will have the opportunity to correct your remarks before we release the transcript. One of our goals is to expand the historical record on Srebrenica. If you turn to your briefing books, you will find a summary of key points that we plan to address in each of the four sessions.2 This morning we want to start with the eyewitnesses on the ground in the spring of 1993. We know this is an arbitrary date. There is an argument to be made that the sins that led to Srebrenica go back to 1 This transcript was annotated and edited for clarity by conference staff and participants in accordance with conference ground rules. 2 USHMM, “Conference Agenda,” June 29, 2015. 1-1 the diplomatic recognition process [in 1990-1992], the lack of protection for ethnic minorities during that early period, the arms embargo, or the famous Jim Baker comment, "We don't have a dog in that fight" when the Americans went missing.3 But for the purposes of this conference and our focus on Srebrenica, we want to begin with General Morillon's visit to Srebrenica in March 1993.4 Michael Dobbs, will you lead us off with a few awkward questions?
