Delegates Stage Walkout as Venezuela's Foreign Minister Addresses UN Meeting

Delegates at the United Nation’s Human Rights Council staged a walkout as Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza took the floor to make a speech on February 27.

Jamil Chade recorded this video and told Storyful the delegates were from Brazil, Israel, Australia and other countries that recognize opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s interim president.

Guaido said he would exercise his duties as president when he returned to Venezuela from Colombia, heightening tensions with the country’s socialist leader, Nicolas Maduro. Credit: Jamil Chade via Storyful
