guarantee that all people enjoy the right of being treated by the Law in an equal manner, expressly prohibiting discrimination. In the same manner, the same Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, in a ruling on June 19, 2009, determined that "the right to equality demands giving the same treatment to all persons who find themselves in identical or similar conditions." Mr. President, The right to equality and non-discrimination implies, in principle, that situations that are analogous or similar receive the same treatment, without allowing any discrimination of any type to be admissible. The Venezuelan State has the idea that administering equal treatment to people who find themselves in unequal situations leads to perpetuating injustice, because of this true equality can only emerge out of efforts directed to addressing and correcting these unbalanced situations. In accordance with the previous statements, all people have the right to access the instruments of justice administration to validate their rights, just as it is disposed in Article 26 of the Constitution, and consequently, justice is guaranteed to be free, accessible, impartial, appropriate, transparent, autonomous, independent, responsible, equitable, and expeditious, without any inappropriate delays, and without useless formalities or replacements. The Attorney General, being the principal actor in the penal action of the State, is in charge of guaranteeing the respect of rights and constitutional protections in judicial processes, as well as in the treaties, conventions, and international agreements subscribed to by the republic. In this sense, public prosecutor offices have been created with competencies in the defence of women; in matters of family, children, and adolescents; and in indigenous matters, which evidences that the Venezuelan State has formulated public policies in human rights, with an emphasis in the protection of specifically vulnerable populations. To conclude, we would like to reaffirm once again our resolute support to all initiatives that in this and other forums are developed in favour of the promotion and protection of the fundamental rights of our peoples, to keep progressing with the end of guaranteeing a dignified life, through the enjoyment of all rights whether economic, social, cultural, environmental, civil and political, and including the right to development. We trust that these spaces in the United Nations will continue to offer the opportunity for an effective exchange of ideas and good practices between governments, civil society and other interested parties, in a language of respect harmonious with the practices of the UN. Thank you.
