Attacking the victims, informers and fact-finders was the defense strategy used by Venezuela in a hearing at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights of the Organization of American States (OAS) for the attacks and harassment of 44 journalists, cameraman, and directors of private news channel Globovisión.

Venezuela's agent before Inter-American organizations Germán Saltrón accused the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights of being "partial," AP and Efe stated.

The Inter-American organization, based in Washington, stated that the Venezuelan government had not taken the measures necessary to prevent persecutions against journalists. Consequently, it decided to sue the Venezuelan government before the Inter-American court.
