Amnesty International on Feb. 3 condemned both the January attack by the US military on Venezuela and the abuses long committed by the ousted Maduro government.

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) on April 24 urged political candidates in Trinidad & Tobago (T&T) to reaffirm their commitment to press freedom ahead of the upcoming elections, following a sharp drop in the country's security ranking on RSF's World Press Freedom Index. Rising crime and the declaration of a state of emergency caused the country's security score, ranking the level of safety for journalists, to fall from 6th to 24th in 2024.
