Caracas (AFP) - Le procureur de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) Karim Khan a souligné lundi à Caracas que l'antenne de la CPI qu'il allait ouvrir au Venezuela pour enquêter sur d'éventuelles violations des droits de l'Homme, n'était pas "un bureau secret". "Après cette réunion, j'ouvrirai un bureau au Venezuela. Ce n'est pas un bureau secret. Je ne travaille pas illégalement ou clandestinement", a dit M. Khan, qui a notamment rencontré le président Nicolas Maduro et la vice-présidente Delcy Rodriguez. "Nous ouvrons un bureau grâce au soutien et à l'accord du Venezuela", a-t-il précisé, ass...

By Alberto PEÑA San José (AFP) - Les habitants d'une des villes les plus polluées du monde, située dans les Andes péruviennes, ont remporté vendredi une bataille "historique" devant la Cour interaméricaine des droits de l'Homme qui a condamné le Pérou pour violation de leur droit à un "environnement sain". Dans un arrêt, la Cour reproche au Pérou "la violation des droits à un environnement sain, à la santé, à l'intégrité personnelle, à une vie digne, à l'accès à l'information, à la participation politique, aux garanties judiciaires et à la protection judiciaire au détriment des 80 victimes" qu...

Panama City (AFP) - The number of migrants passing through Panama on the way to the United States keeps climbing, far outpacing the record numbers reached in 2022, a top authority said Friday. "Today we add 227,000 migrants who have passed through our territory, and this month we are going to exceed the history-making 2022, when there were 248,000 migrants," Security Minister Juan Manuel Pino told reporters. Migrant passages are tallied at a border checkpoint in the Darien Gap, the muddy jungle that separates Panama and Colombia, which migrants traverse on foot as they head toward the United ...

Ciudad Juárez (Mexico) (AFP) - Luisa Jimenez thought she was visiting an office to regularize her stay in Mexico, but instead she found herself detained in an immigration center similar to the one where dozens of migrants perished in a fire. "It's a holding cell, a detention center, like we're criminals," the Venezuelan migrant told AFP in Ciudad Juarez, where 39 people died and 27 were injured in the blaze that began on Monday. Jimenez said the facility where she was held was in Tuxtla Gutierrez in the southern state of Chiapas. She was taken there with the promise that she would be given a p...

Houston (AFP) - The US state of Texas is pushing ahead with the use of lethal injection for its Death Row inmates despite legal challenges over the drugs it employs, in the latest chapter of a fraught national debate over how to conduct executions. Texas is among the 27 states -- more than half the total 50 -- that has capital punishment on the books for certain violent crimes such as murder, drug trafficking and rape. The Lone Star State has carried out executions for a century, and was the first to use lethal injection in 1982. Last year, two inmates filed parallel challenges to their pendi...

Caracas (AFP) - A close ally of the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez who fell out with his successor Nicolas Maduro said Saturday he had been freed after spending five years in prison. The release of Miguel Rodriguez Torres, a former minister, was widely seen as stemming from recent reconciliation talks in Mexico between the leftist Maduro government and the Venezuelan opposition. The talks are aimed at ending a long-running political and economic crisis. After his release, news reports said Rodriguez Torres left for exile in Spain. In a video posted on social media, the retired military off...

Panama City (AFP) - The number of migrant children trying to reach the United States from Mexico has increased ninefold since the beginning of the year, UNICEF said on Monday. The rise from 380 to 3,500 youngsters registered at reception centers at the southern side of the border has overwhelmed the facilities, the UN children's agency said. "It breaks my heart to see the suffering of so many young children, even babies, on the Mexican border with the United States," said Jean Gough, the fund's director for Latin America and the Caribbean, who is based in Panama. "Most of the shelters I visite...

Apizaco (Mexico) (AFP) - Greyssi Venegas devours her first meal in three days at a Mexican shelter near the railroad where migrants risk their lives clinging to freight trains on their grueling journey north to the United States. An unexpected pregnancy has complicated her already tortuous trip from Honduras by rail, road and on foot with her seven-year-old son Eduardo. "Yesterday I felt ill. I didn't want to eat. So I asked for a pregnancy test," said the 23-year-old, who has a cough and dark circles around her eyes from fatigue. Venegas scraped together around $100 for her second attempt to ...
