13:21 | Lima, Aug. 6.

Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Nestor Popolizio on Tuesday called for the renewal of support for Venezuelan Interim President Juan Guaido and for the commitment to restoring democracy in the Bolivarian Nation.

According to the official, the political, economic, social, and humanitarian crisis —affecting its citizens— has not stopped worsening in Venezuela, adding its impact has become global.

In this sense, he recalled the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights —in its latest report— informed about the existence of systematic violations to human rights committed by Nicolas Maduro's illegitimate regime.

For that reason, Peru and other countries decided to submit a complaint against Maduro and his regime —for crimes against humanity— to the International Criminal Court.

"I urge all nations, which are part of the Rome Statute, to join us and boost this complaint, so it can be assessed as soon as possible by the Court," Popolizio expressed.

Likewise, the minister indicated it is urgent to find a peaceful solution for Venezuela, in accordance with its constitutional law, and that it should be led by the Bolivarian nation's citizens.

Remarks were made during a previous meeting with 44 countries that support Guaido.

The International Conference for Democracy in Venezuela currently takes place in Lima, with the participation of approximately 60 nations, including France, the United States, Germany, Canada, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
