On January 26, Venezuela’s Supreme Court of Justice announced its decision to uphold bans on opposition presidential candidate María Corina Machado and two-time presidential candidate Henrique Capriles, preventing them from holding any public office for 15 years. Neither Machado nor Capriles were provided the right to defend themselves against accusations made, therefore violating their rights to due process and defense by international human rights standards. As the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has underscored, sanctions to disqualify candidates should only be imposed through a conviction by a judge within the framework of a criminal process.
