'Convention Against Torture (CAT): The US is a signatory to the UN Convention Against Torture. This treaty imposes obligations on signatory states to prevent and prosecute torture. Venezuela could pursue a complaint under the CAT if it believes the US has violated its obligations.'

'Lawsuits in US courts: Venezuelan citizens who have been detained and allegedly tortured may have legal grounds to sue the US government or individual officials involved in US courts, based on civil rights violations or other applicable laws. For instance, one Venezuelan migrant has already taken the first step toward suing the US government for alleged wrongful detention.'
