The Maduro regime continues to violate internationally recognized human rights & threaten regional & int'l peace w/ impunity. It's past time the U.S. lead in supporting a credible transition to democratic order in #Venezuela. My VALOR Act will do just that.foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/releā¦
I'm concerned proposed judicial reforms in #Mexico would undermine the independence & transparency of its judiciary. I urge the LĆ³pez Obrador Admin to pursue reforms that enhance professional qualifications, combat corruption, & protect judicial autonomy. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/releā¦
I'm deeply concerned by the Honduran gov'tās plans to terminate its extradition treaty with the U.S.. Democracy & justice require the Biden-Harris Admin & Pres. Castro to recommit to this treaty & the fight against transnational criminals like #Maduro. foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/releā¦
Itās been 2yrs since the United Nations released its report on Chinese human rights abuses of #Uyghurs & other minorities in #Xinjiang. Sadly, #Xi has ignored this report and the atrocities continue. The UN must increase its pressure on #China to cease this genocide.
