Plan Ávila
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plan Ávila was a military contingency plan by the Venezuelan Army meant to restore order in Caracas during episodes of widespread civil unrest.[1] [2]
On August 27, 2002, the Interamerican Court of Human Rights [3] found that the implementation of Plan Ávila by the Carlos Andrés Pérez regime in response to the 1989 riots known as the Caracazo had resulted in massive human rights violations, and ordered the Venezuelan government to review its military contingency planning to conform to International Human Rights standards.
