Priority Venezuela: The Global Reverberations of a Humanitarian Crisis [English Translation]

As world leaders gather in New York, one crisis – Venezuela -- threatens to increasingly spread beyond its borders without renewed international attention. The Western Hemisphere’s largest man-made emergency is the result of years of Nicolás Maduro’s failed economic policies, cronyism, corruption, and systemic human rights violations. Now is the time to refocus and reaffirm the world’s attention to the global implications of Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis. How can the international community step up collective efforts to accelerate a peaceful democratic transition? What additional resources are needed for migrant and refugee receiving countries? What will be the path to reconstruction? Join the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center and the interim government of Venezuela on Monday, September 23, 2019, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. (EDT) for a high-level conversation on the Venezuelan humanitarian crisis and how a more robust international response can translate into improved lives for the Venezuelan people and continued regional stability.
