SPINWATCH-Ex UN ambassador: "We will do all we can to take Chavez to The Hague" http://thenakedfacts.blogspot.com/2010/06/spinwatch-ex-un-ambassador-we-will-do.html

Diego Arria, the former Venezuelan ambassador to the United Nations, regretted that some opposition leaders consider that it is impossible that President Chavez can be tried in a court. "It is incredible that the people who have mostly undermined the arguments against the (Venezuelan) regime come from the opposition. They prefer to attack opposition leaders rather than recognizing them"

El Universal: Former UN ambassador Diego Arria reported that there is an organized process to take President Hugo Chavez to the International Court of Justice at The Hague for human rights violations."Definitely, it is possible to try him, and we will make it real. We are getting ready to take Mr. Hugo Chavez to The Hague. No doubt about it," Arria said in an interview with the Venezuelan radio station Unión Radio.

Diego Arria Salicetti is a Venezuelan politician, diplomat, former Venezuelan Permanent Representative of Venezuela to the United Nations (1991 - 1994) and President of the Security Council (1992-93).[1] He was Governor of the Federal District of Caracas in the mid-1970s. Other positions have included Diplomatic Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Arria    

Arria first came to prominence in the first government of Rafael Caldera (1969-1974), when he was president of the CONAHOTU (National Corporation of Hotels and Tourism) for most of the presidential term. He then resigned to support the successful presidential candidacy of Carlos Andrés Perez

In Spain, Arria has been received like royalty with opposition Partido Popular leader, Jose Maria Aznar paying him tribute http://www.vheadline.com/readnews.asp?id=92934    (who's partido popular in spain?oh just the fascist franco era regimes remnants wich are fighting tooth and nail to stop re investigation into francos fascist regimes war crimes against spaniards!!!)(same partido popular that has judge baltazar removed for trying to reopen those investigations)

Powerful enemies (partido popular)are attempting to unseat the 'superjudge' who tried to bring the death squads of Franco's dictatorship to book http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/apr/25/baltasar-garzon-spain-franco

"The judiciary in Spain has changed since the Pinochet case," explained Garcés. "A lot of rightwing judges were appointed to the supreme court by the Partido Popular (People's party) government of José María Aznar in the eight years up to 2004." They include some elderly judges who once swore loyalty to Franco's regime, he said.

PP backs the campaign against Garzón. The party was vocal in its criticism of the Franco case. "It is outlandish," said Manuel Fraga, a former Francoist minister who is the party's founding president. The party had also lashed out at Garzón for his recent investigation into a PP corruption scandal known as the Gürtel case. Party leader Mariano Rajoy has called the wave of pro-Garzón demonstrations "anti-democratic".
