WORLD REPORT 2011tatives. In2010 agents of the new National Bolivarian Police (PNB), trained inhuman rights and non-abusive methods, participated in a pilot scheme in Catia, ahigh-crime district of Caracas. At this writing there had been no independent evaluationof the new police force’s performance.Prison ConditionsVenezuelan prisons are among the most violent in Latin America. Weak security,deteriorating infrastructure, overcrowding, insufficient and poorly trained guards,and corruption allow armed gangs to effectively control prisons. Hundreds of violentprison deaths occur every year. In September 2010 16 prisoners were killedand 35 wounded in a riot between rival armed gangs at the Aragua Penitenciary inTocorón.Labor RightsThe Chávez government has systematically violated workers’ rights, undercuttingestablished labor unions while favoring new, parallel unions that support itsagenda.The government requires the National Electoral Council (CNE), a public authority,to organize and certify all union elections, violating international standards thatguarantee workers the right to elect their representatives in full freedom, accordingto conditions they determine. Established unions whose elections have notbeen CNE-certified are barred from participating in collective bargaining.The government has for several years promised to reform the relevant labor andelectoral laws to restrict state interference in union elections. Reforms that explicitlystate that union elections held without CNE participation are legally valid werestill pending before the National Assembly at this writing.Key International ActorsVenezuela’s government has increasingly rejected international monitoring of itshuman rights record. In its December 2009 report on human rights in Venezuela,the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights stated that by impeding it from272
AMERICASvisiting the country, Venezuela was “contributing to the weakening of the Inter-American system for the protection of human rights.” Chávez described the reportas “ineffable” and “ignominious.”273
