Justice under threat: a report on the rule of law in Venezuela - March 2007 Following heightened concern over the deterioration of the rule of law in Venezuela, the IBA sent a delegation to the country in March 2007 to ascertain the independence of the judiciary and the ability of lawyers to carry out their duties freely.

A fact-finding delegation was sent to Peru and Bolivia in 1999 to monitor and consider the perceived lack of independence felt by the judiciary in the two countries and to make recommendations where appropriate.
