El 26 de abril de 2022, la Asamblea Nacional venezolana, electa en 2020, nombró 20 magistradas y magistrados al Tribunal Supremo de Justicia (TSJ). La mayoría de estos nombramientos fueron motivados políticamente. Por ello, los nombramientos desconocen el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos y los estándares sobre independencia judicial.
On 26 April 2022, the Venezuelan National Assembly elected in 2020 appointed 20 justices to the Supreme Court (Tribunal Supremo de Justicia, TSJ).
