Venezuela commemorated the 60th anniversary of the 1966 Geneva Agreement by reaffirming its claim over the 160,000 square-kilometer Essequibo territory and urging Guyana to pursue “good faith negotiations.” Caracas said the agreement is the sole valid mechanism to resolve the dispute and rejected the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice.
Guyana responded that the Geneva Agreement did not annul the 1899 Arbitral Award and noted that in 2018 the UN Secretary-General referred the case to the ICJ as the final means of settlement. Oral hearings are set to begin in May 2026.

📰 NEWS | Trump Administration Mandates Venezuelan Oil Royalties, Taxes Be Paid to US-Run Accounts
The Trump administration has mandated that all royalty, federal tax and dividend payments from Venezuelan oil production be deposited into accounts managed by the US Treasury, according to updated sanctions guidance published February 18.
Since January, Washington has also taken control of Venezuelan crude export proceeds, first directing revenues to a US-administered account in Qatar and now to a US Treasury account. US officials have stated that Caracas must submit a “budget request” to access the funds.
At least $500 million of an estimated $2 billion initial arrangement has reportedly been returned to Venezuela. Meanwhile, OFAC’s General License 50A authorizes select Western firms (including BP, Chevron, Eni, Repsol, Shell and France’s Maurel & Prom) to conduct hydrocarbon transactions with PDVSA under specified conditions.

📹 VIDEO | Oil Sovereignty vs. Foreign Control: Venezuela’s Hydrocarbons Reform and US Sanctions
Venezuela has approved a sweeping overhaul of its Hydrocarbons Law, reshaping the country’s oil sector for the first time in more than two decades.
The reform reduces the state’s operational role, lowers key taxes and royalties, and allows greater private participation in extraction and exports, a move officials say will revive production and attract foreign investment.
Within days, Washington issued General License 46, authorizing US companies to purchase and transport Venezuelan crude under strict conditions.
Supporters call it a pragmatic step toward economic recovery. Critics see a potential erosion of energy sovereignty.
Is this the beginning of a turnaround for Venezuela’s oil industry or a fundamental shift in control over the country’s most strategic resource?

#USVenezuelaRelations
Venezuela and the United States announced on March 6 that they are restoring diplomatic relations after a seven-year rupture. The two governments released near-simultaneous statements confirming renewed engagement, though no timeline was given for reopening embassies or consulates.
The rapprochement follows the Jan. 3 US military strikes and the detention of President Nicolás Maduro. In the past two months, several senior US officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Energy Secretary Chris Wright, have traveled to Caracas. Venezuelan authorities have also enacted reforms, including changes to the Hydrocarbon Law, aimed at attracting foreign corporate investment.

🗒️🗣️ INTERVIEW | Aimee Zambrano: ‘Let Us Demand a Justice System with a Gender Perspective’

Through the Utopix Femicide Monitor, a platform that collects cases from open sources, Zambrano and her team have tracked patterns since 2019. However, Zambrano warns that other forms of violence are increasing, particularly attempted femicides, sexual abuse, and cases linked to the disappearance of women and girls.
She also argues that Venezuela needs a justice system with a gender perspective and a coordinated state response involving multiple ministries, including education, housing, and communication, to address gender violence.
