  • Venezuela: Issues for Congress
    Venezuela: Issues for Congress Mark P. Sullivan Specialist in Latin American Affairs March 11, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40938 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Venezuela: Issues for Congress Summary The United States traditionally has had close relations with Venezuela, a major supplier of foreign oil, but there has been friction in relations for almost a decade under the government of populist President Hugo Chávez. U.S. officials have expressed concerns about human rights, Venezuela’s military arms purchases, its relations with Cuba and Iran, and its efforts to export its brand of populism to other Latin American countries. Declining cooperation on anti-drug and anti- terrorism efforts has also been a concern. In September 2008, bilateral relations worsened when President Chávez expelled the U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela, and the United States responded in kind. Under the Obama Administration, Venezuela and the United States reached an agreement for the return of respective ambassadors in July 2009. While some observers were hopeful that the return of ambassadors would mark an improvement in relations, this has not been the case. In December 2010, Venezuela revoked its agreement for the appointment of Larry Palmer, nominated to be U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela. The United States responded by revoking the diplomatic visa of Venezuelan Ambassador Bernardo Alavrez. Under the rule of President Chávez, first elected in 1998 and reelected to a six-year term in December 2006, Venezuela has undergone enormous political changes, with a new constitution and unicameral legislature, and a new name for the country, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

NWEIHED* INTRODUCTION The country that will play host to the Third United Nations Con- ference on the Law of the Sea can afford to put forth one of the oldest and most respectable claims in Latin America to relationship with the legal order of the oceans. Since it has fallen to Venezuela to assume the task renounced by Chile as a consequence of a sudden change of government in Santiago, an extremely vigorous and deep sense of responsibility has pervaded high official echelons, as well as scientific circles and internationally-minded groups and intel- lectuals. The news of the change in host countries broke toward the end of 1973, a year officially designated as the "Year of Maritime Reassertion,"' since it was exactly 150 years ago-July 24th- when Colombia's young navy dealt a decisive blow to Spain's * The author holds a degree in International Studies from the Cen- tral University of Venezuela and a degree in high education from the Instituto Pedagogico, Caracas.

    Venezuela: Political Conditions and U.S. Policy Mark P. Sullivan Specialist in Latin American Affairs July 28, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32488 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Venezuela: Political Conditions and U.S. Policy Summary Under the populist rule of President Hugo Chávez, first elected in 1998 and reelected to a six-year term in December 2006, Venezuela has undergone enormous political changes, with a new constitution and unicameral legislature, and a new name for the country, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. U.S. officials and human rights organizations have expressed concerns about the deterioration of democratic institutions and threats to freedom of expression under President Chávez, who has survived several attempts to remove him from power. The government benefitted from the rise in world oil prices, which sparked an economic boom and allowed Chávez to increase expenditures on social programs associated with his populist agenda. After he was reelected, Chávez announced new measures to move the country toward socialism, but his May 2007 closure of a popular Venezuelan television station (RCTV) that was critical of the government sparked protests, and his proposed constitutional amendment package was defeated by a close margin in a December 2007 national referendum. State and local elections held in November 2008 were a mixed picture of support for the government, with the opposition winning several key contests. In February 2009, Venezuelans approved a controversial constitutional referendum that abolished term limits and allows Chávez to run for re-election in 2012 and beyond. In 2009, the government has increased efforts to suppress the political opposition, including elected officials, and is continuing to threaten media critical of the government.
