Opening Statement
Good morning Madame Secretary and the delegates of the United Nations.
As the representatives of Venezuela, we are in the position of defeating this resolution. Cutting development aid would have a negative impact on our country’s development. The cutting of developmental aid would affect our Health care, our reconstruction of the environment due to natural disasters and would not allow us to achieve the goals that we have set out for our justice system. With the foreign aid our country receives, we have money to open up more medical clinics; we are able to provide financial and humanitarian aid to our people affected by natural disasters, and will be able to reduce the crime rates in Venezuela. Venezuela is a recipient and donor of aid. It has donated food and humanitarian aid to a suffering country like Haiti. We have received financial aid from the bank of the south, the money that we received went to improving our health care system and the quality of life in Venezuela. To improve the quality of life in Venezuela we have traded our most important resource, Oil to Cuba for well trained doctors. Development Aid is crucial for the development of our country.
Closing Statement
In conclusion the government of Venezuela is in need of developing aid for natural disasters like the major flooding and landslides that have occured in Venezuela. Also to maintain an improved Heath care and to better support our justice system witch is essential for a counrty to be improved and so we should oppose the resolution. Since we put the aid we do receive to good use we should continue to receive this aid as needed.

How has being sanctioned from the US affected Cuba's standard of living?
What actions have been taken to improve Cubans quality of life?
Question towards US
With 15% of the US population not receiving health insurance, how can the US ignore their own human rights violations and try to intervene on other countries human rights?

Human Rights
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has in the past traded oil to Cuba for advanced doctors to improve health care and the standard of living in Venezuela. They also have opened up free medical clinics around the nation.
Hugo Chavez has pledged that their will be more funding for hospitals and better health care throughout the nation. Also underpaid doctors would be paid at the same rate as doctors in Cuba.
Human rights abuse in Venezuela There have been many Human rights violations in Venezuela included unlawful killings, disappearances reportedly involving security forces, torture and abuse of prisoners, harsh prison conditions, arbitrary arrests and detentions and attacks on the independent media. There is a lack of government involvement with the human rights conditions in Venezuela. The U.S. strategy for promoting democracy and human rights in Venezuela is to support the effort of the country’s citizens to strengthen independent civil society. Venezuela has little interest in a democracy and focus on running a more social government.
Economic sanction is when actions taken by one nation or group of nations to harm another economy, nation or group, often to force a political change. An example of this in Venezuela is significant trade relationship with Cuba undermined the U.S. policy of isolating Cuba, and long-running ties between the U.S. and Venezuelan militaries were severed on Chavez’s initiative. Humanitarian intervention refers to the threat or use of force across state borders by a state (or group of states) aimed at preventing or ending widespread and grave violations of the fundamental human rights of individuals other than its own citizens.
