  Chapter V - Annual Report 2004
The response of the Venezuelan State of December 7, 2004 indicates that the political and social tensions arising from the polarization noted by the Commission in its report have diminished considerably, due to ratification of the mandate of President Chavez through the consultative referendum held on August 15, 2004 and through the elections.
The Venezuelan State considers that the precautionary measures granted by the IACHR and the recommendations contained in its reports on the situation of human rights in any state are not binding on the internal organs of government.
This omission also places the State under the obligation of indemnifying the victims or their next-of-kin for the violation of their human rights implied by the State’s failure to provide a proper investigation of the incident, irrespective of whether or not the perpetrators were state agents.

 Venezuela Petition12.210 - Inadmissibility
In response, the Venezuelan state argued that the petitioners had at their disposal domestic judicial remedies such as the electoral administrative appeal [recurso contencioso electoral] and the writ of Amparo [recurso de amparo or appeal for enforcement of constitutional rights], neither of which had been exhausted by the petitioners.
In this communication, the State repeated its objections to the admissibility of the petition because it was groundless and had not complied with the prerequisite to exhaust all domestic remedies.
In a later communication the State repeated its request for inadmissibility on the basis of the non-exhaustion of domestic remedies and requested that the petition should be declared inadmissible because it was manifestly baseless and unfounded.

Further, since they intend to evade Venezuelan justice, they have not placed themselves at the disposal of the authorities for the case against them to be heard and thereby enable them to pursue the remedies they deem appropriate in order to uphold their claims.
Furthermore, the State rejects the argument that detainees in Venezuelan jails are subjected to abuses that violate their physical integrity and says that defendants in Venezuela are equal before the law and enjoy the procedural benefits to which they are legally entitled.
The State for its part, rejects these arguments and maintains that all the remedies needed to resolve this dispute in the domestic sphere are in place and that the petitioners did not pursue them but, rather, straightaway instituted an international proceeding.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is widely seen to be at the center of Latin America's transformation by building a regional trade bloc through the creation of ALBA and Venezuela's membership in Mercosur to oppose U.S. dominance and its constant push for free trade agreements with Latin American governments.

True, Chávez has polarized Venezuelan society by calling opponents "squalids" and "worms," by converting schools into political indoctrination centers, by creating armed partisan neighborhood spy committees called "Bolivarian Circles," and by declaring it legal for the state to seize private property.
