- On March 12, the United Nations fact-finding mission said there are no indicators of structural reforms despite Nicolas Maduro's removal, with 87 politically motivated detentions reported since.

- The mission documented abuses including fourteen journalists temporarily detained, 30 Scientific, Criminal and Forensic Investigations Corps officials jailed for refusing false evidence, and at least 15 children arrested.

- Rodriguez's administration says nearly 2,200 people have been freed under an amnesty law, yet Maria Eloisa Quintero questioned whether leadership will face accountability while Maduro remains imprisoned in New York.
