Given the idea that human rights should be acceptable to everyone, why has there been such a difficulty in moving this agenda along in Venezuela? For example, when it comes to the issue of flagrant human rights abuses in Venezuela, everyone seems to agree that it is unacceptable. And yet, a united intentional front has not materialized. What is at stake and why is this the case? Is there an uneven way in which we (the West) press human rights that makes it seem like a double standard and therefore, less palatable for others to accept? Or is there something else going on?
