Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro said the United Nation’s Human Rights workers he expelled more than two months ago can return to Venezuela during a fourth visit from the International Criminal Court’s prosecutor Karim Khan.
Maduro said he accepted a request by Khan to invite the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk to reopen his office in Caracas. “I’m ready to receive an envoy from Turk soon,” he said, speaking alongside Khan.
