There are no UN sanctions on Venezuela. In response to the deterioration of democracy, the rule of law, and human rights, the EU and UK impose sanctions on Venezuela. The US first imposed sanctions on Venezuela in 2005/2006 in response to Venezuela’s alleged lack of cooperation on US anti-drug and counter-terrorism efforts. The US also imposes sectoral sanctions related to transactions with the Venezuelan government and targeted sanctions on those involved in actions or policies undermining democratic processes or institutions.
