§9712 Support for efforts at the United Nations on the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela

Summary

Congress urges United Nations humanitarian agencies to do and publish independent studies of Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis. The studies should show how bad shortages of food, medicine, and medical supplies are; give basic health measures like maternal and child death rates and how common and treated infectious diseases are; and say what is needed to fix these problems. The President should ask the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. to use America’s voice, vote, and influence to support the U.N. Resident Coordinator for Venezuela in ways that help Venezuela recover long term and boost humanitarian aid for Venezuelans there and in nearby countries.
