 Argentina seeks extradition of Maduro from the US on charges of crimes against humanity

 An Argentine federal judge has requested the extradition of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from the United States so he can face charges of crimes against humanity in Argentina. The request follows Maduro’s capture by U.S. forces last month and his current detention in New York, where he is facing federal charges related to narco-terrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine. The Argentine case accuses Maduro of directing a brutal crackdown on protesters and political opponents during his presidency, including allegations of torture, arbitrary detention, and enforced disappearances carried out by Venezuelan security and intelligence forces. Victims named in the case include Venezuelans who say they were subjected to severe human rights abuses under Maduro’s rule.

The case was filed in Buenos Aires in 2023 by human rights organizations representing those victims and is based on the principle of universal jurisdiction, which allows Argentine courts to prosecute serious international crimes regardless of where they were committed. The extradition request cites a 1997 treaty between Argentina and the United States and acknowledges Maduro’s recent capture. Argentine prosecutors moved forward with the request after an international arrest warrant was issued last year. While the U.S. government is unlikely to approve the extradition while Maduro and his wife remain in custody awaiting trial, advocates behind the case say the move represents a significant step toward accountability for Venezuelan victims and reinforces Argentina’s role as one of the few countries willing to pursue crimes-against-humanity cases beyond its borders.
