Disqualification in Venezuela: instrument for the repression of political rights?

Abstract

Democracy implies the performance of the prerogatives that people possess under the parameters of human rights. However, there are occasions in which figures with a legal basis, can represent a threat to the development of those rights depending on the way in which they are applied. In this work, the concept of disqualification was studied and specifically its general purpose was to understand the spectrum of action of disqualification as a figure with an impact on political rights in Venezuela. For its construction, a review article was carried out under a documentary design. According to the investigation carried out, it was established that political disqualification represents a form of restriction on political rights and in Venezuela it has constituted a recurring practice in recent years which is conditioned by different national and international regulations.. It was concluded that when the materialization of political disqualification is carried out inadequately, it leads to a form of repression that in the Venezuelan case has been palpable for years.
