Venezuelan Supreme Court

The Venezuelan Supreme Court appears in Caracas under pressure: democracy in Venezuela as a target of negotiation and reform. The source says recent talks produced an initial agreement around court reform, and that a “real” Supreme Court would be one condition under which Maria Corina Machado might more fully support the process.

This page is distinct from the wiki’s Supreme Court page, which tracks the United States institution. Here the court is part of Venezuela’s disputed transition architecture, paired with the Venezuelan Electoral Council and party-rights guarantees.
