And how to justify the absence of strong responses from Brazil and Mexico, the region\u2019s biggest countries, whose presidents want to be seen as leaders of modern democracies?<\/p>\n<p>Decades ago, when a Latin American country blatantly infringed democratic freedoms, such as Venezuela is doing now, the region\u2019s most important democratic leaders condemned such events, and asked for urgent meetings of the Organization of American States (OAS) to press for corrective actions.<\/p>\n<p>When former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori shut down his country\u2019s Congress in 1992, the then pro-democracy government of Venezuela broke diplomatic relations with Peru, Argentina withdrew its ambassador, and Chile and several other countries officially requested that Peru be suspended from the OAS. And the OAS protested Fujimori\u2019s action, forcing him to eventually call early elections for a new Congress a few months later.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing even close to that happened after Thursday\u2019s arrest of Ledezma, one of Venezuela\u2019s top elected officials and leading opposition figure. At the time of this writing, no Latin American government had issued a strong condemnation of Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro\u2019s arbitrary arrest of Ledezma, nor requested an urgent OAS foreign ministers\u2019 meeting to address the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Maduro, who only earlier this month led official celebrations to honor a 1992 coup attempt by late President Hugo Ch\u00e1vez, has accused Ledezma and other opposition leaders of \u201cconspiring and organizing\u201d violent anti-government actions, which they categorically deny.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, outgoing OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza expressed his \u201calarm\u201d over the latest events in Venezuela. But in the absence of any member country request to hold an extraordinary meeting, the group is basically watching Venezuelan events from afar.<\/p>\n<p>The Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) announced Friday it will send a delegation of foreign ministers from Brazil, Ecuador and Colombia to Venezuela at a yet to be determined date to observe the situation on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>That may be good news for Maduro, since UNASUR is the regional group most sympathetic to his government. Last year, UNASUR dispatched the same three countries\u2019 foreign ministers to Venezuela for an alleged mediation effort after student protests in Caracas left at least 43 dead.<\/p>\n<p>But the UNASUR mediators not only failed to broker an agreement between Maduro and the opposition, but helped Maduro win precious time to diffuse the protests. The three countries\u2019 foreign ministers did not get the release of all students arrested during the protests, nor a commitment from Maduro to meet some basic demands, such as the appointment of independent electoral authorities for this year\u2019s legislative elections.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, in 2013, UNASUR had rushed to bless Maduro\u2019s dubious election victory, after a pro-government electoral tribunal had proclaimed him winner by 1 percent of the vote despite opposition charges of massive fraud.<\/p>\n<p>UNASUR President Ernesto Samper called Friday for \u201cdialogue\u201d in Venezuela, and criticized U.S. sanctions against about five dozen Venezuelan officials suspected of human rights abuses and corruption.<\/p>\n<p>Jose Miguel Vivanco, head of the Americas department of Human Rights Watch, called Samper\u2019s statements \u201chighly unfortunate, because there\u2019s absolutely no connection between the rightful U.S. cancelation of visas and freezing of assets of Venezuelan officials involved in human rights abuses and corruption, and the arbitrary detentions in Venezuela.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vivanco added that \u201cwe are seeing a daily deterioration of fundamental freedoms in Venezuela. The government is not accountable to any independent democratic institution there. The only thing left to stop this escalade of abuses is the regional community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My opinion: I agree. Trouble is, the regional community is leaderless. It\u2019s no surprise that Venezuela\u2019s closest allies \u2014 the populist demagogues ruling in Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Argentina \u2013\u2014 have remained silent.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more difficult to understand is Mexico and Brazil\u2019s failure to ask regional organizations to meet their duty and demand the respect for democratic institutions in all member countries.<\/p>\n<p>Because of that, the OAS, UNASUR and other regional groups are increasingly looking as protectors of government abuses, rather than of democratic freedoms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div
