UN: Awarding of Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado reflects the hopes of Venezuelans

October 10, 2025 Human rights

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on Friday welcomed the Nobel Committee's decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to activist and politician María Corina Machado in recognition of her efforts to advance the democratic aspirations of the Venezuelan people.

"We congratulate María Corina Machado on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize," said OHCHR Representative Tamin Al-Khitan. "This recognition reflects the clear aspirations of Venezuelans for free and fair elections, civil and political rights, and the rule of law."

The 58-year-old activist, barred by authorities from participating in last year's presidential election, remains in hiding in Venezuela. In January, she was briefly detained after participating in an opposition rally and was soon released, reportedly under pressure from the international community.

Machado thanked the Nobel Committee for the award, noting that it was "an achievement for all of society."

"I'm just one person. I certainly don't deserve this," she said.

Repression against the opposition

Numerous reports prepared under the mandate of the UN Human Rights Council attest to the severe restrictions on civil liberties in Venezuela.

Earlier this year, independent experts called on the authorities to end the practice of holding political opponents incommunicado. They emphasized that "targeted detentions" are illegal and may be classified as enforced disappearances. This is one of the most serious human rights violations, which, if confirmed, can be classified as an international crime.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk has repeatedly expressed concern about reports of events in the country.

In December 2024, Türk condemned the "disproportionate use of force and violence" during the post-election protests, including by armed government supporters. At least 28 people were killed.

In July, the Venezuelan National Assembly declared Türk and OHCHR staff personae non gratae, effectively blocking the UN Office's work in the country.

Human rights are universal

Speaking to journalists in Geneva, OHCHR representative Al-Khitan emphasized that the Office is committed to dialogue with the Venezuelan government and all stakeholders.

"We remain firmly committed to defending the rights of all Venezuelans, both inside and outside the country," he said.

"The most important thing now is to strengthen cooperation with the authorities," al-Khitan added. "Unfortunately, the Venezuelan National Assembly voted to declare the High Commissioner persona non grata."

On December 3–4, 2025, the IAEA Headquarters in Vienna will host the first-ever international symposium on artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of nuclear energy. The symposium will explore scenarios for how nuclear power can meet the growing electricity demand from data centers, the driving force behind AI, and explore the many opportunities for leveraging AI to benefit nuclear energy. Given that the rapid development of AI mirrors the dynamics of the recent and ongoing nuclear energy renaissance, this event will be highly relevant and highlight the emerging link between the two industries.

“As AI becomes increasingly integrated into society and nuclear energy development is seen as vital to providing the world with abundant, reliable, and clean energy, these two sectors have an incredible opportunity to maximize their contributions,” said IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi. “Nuclear power plants can provide the reliable, clean electricity needed for the sustainable development of AI and other big data applications, while AI can optimize reactor performance, accelerate the development of advanced fuels, and find other critical applications to help nuclear energy reach its full potential.”

The symposium will bring together stakeholders from around the world, including senior representatives from the nuclear and AI industries, as well as nuclear regulators. The two-day event will feature panel discussions, exhibitions, and side events focused on two themes: "Powering Data Centers with Nuclear Energy" and "Challenges and Prospects for Artificial Intelligence in the Nuclear Sector."

The role of AI in many industries is rapidly growing, and with it, energy demand is soaring. According to the International Energy Agency, data centers consumed approximately 460 TWh of electricity in 2022, and their consumption could exceed 1,000 TWh by 2026. To meet this demand, several major tech companies, including Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, are turning to nuclear energy, specifically entering into power purchase agreements and investing in the development and deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs).

In the nuclear energy industry, AI-based tools are already being used to improve design solutions, optimize construction processes, and enhance operational efficiency. Further integration of AI into these and other areas offers significant potential for the entire industry. However, this must be done with careful consideration of the industry's stringent nuclear safety and security requirements.

Persons wishing to participate in the event, according to general rules, must either be registered with an IAEA Member State or work for one of the organizations invited to participate.

Registration is carried out through the InTouch platform follow the link.
