IACHR Rehashes Debunked Claims about Venezuela http://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/5337

Since 1922, the Council on Foreign Relations has published Foreign Affairs, "America's most influential publication on international affairs and foreign policy http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Foreign_Affairs) while IIDH's president, Sonia Picado Sotela, also has strong links to democracy-manipulating elites as she has acted as the co-chair of the board of directors of the Inter-American Dialogue, and serves on the international advisory board of the Democracy Coalition Project
