Three students of the University of Carabobo appeared in the Brazilian Embassy to Caracas to ask the Brazilian ambassador to mediate between the Organization of American States (OAS) and the government of Venezuela to set the time and date of the visit of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) to Venezuela.
Luis Magallanes, a law student at the University of Carabobo, said that the students were received by the Brazilian Minister-Counselor, Rafael Vidal, "who informed us that the ambassador was willing to meet us."
He said that they would stay in the Embassy "until we are given a firm, clear and consolidated answer about the actions of the IACHR in the country."

This mostly explains the relationship and "debt" between the parties, as revealed by a paper of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) of the United Kingdom.
