Este trabajo se refiere al uso de la represión y del sistema de justicia en Venezuela durante la presidencia de Nicolás Maduro (2013-2019). En la primera parte se analiza el fenómeno de la represión, cuantificando y explicando los actos represivos y el análisis del papel del aparato de justicia en la misma. En la segunda parte hay un estudio de trece casos que ilustran la manera como procede dicha represión. Después, se analiza cómo estas acciones pueden calificarse de violaciones de los derechos humanos y aun como crímenes de lesa humanidad. Finalmente, se teoriza sobre el significado del derecho y de la profesión jurídica en un régimen político que ha violado las normas constitucionales y ha conducido al país una emergencia humanitaria compleja.This article refers to the use of repression and the justice system in Venezuela during Nicolás Maduro’s presidency (2013-2019). In the first part, the phenomenon of repression is analyzed, quantifying and explaining repressive acts and examining the role of the judiciary in it. In the second part, there is a study of thirteen cases that illustrate the manner in which such repression is implemented. Then, we consider how these actions can be described as human rights violations and even as crimes against humanity. Finally, the meaning of law and the legal profession in a political regime that has violated all constitutional norms and has led the country into a complex humanitarian emergency is analyzed.
