I think the record is still mixed.
One point I do recall is that there was an effort at one time to restrict international funding to those NGOs. I believe they have now backed off after international pressures from Canada and others who raised concerns. It was a pattern we were seeing in a number of the countries of the ALBA group where they were essentially trying to restrict international assistance to some of these NGOs that don't have a lot of means to do their work. Consequently, they feel under pressure from the host government. Part of our work with the human rights award is to also recognize these NGOs and to give them support.
We also engage quite directly with the congress of Venezuela—all parties, including the Chavez party, but also with other opposition members—to ensure dialogue with them and have a good assessment. We're trying to reach out into that network as well. Overall, with civil society, the record is still very mixed.
