As part of his paper "Justice Under Zero," referring to violence in Venezuela, Romero stressed that the lack of rule of law in our country has undoubtedly led to an increase in criminality.

"The problem here is justice" below zero. "We are no longer just at zero level of justice as the cause of this institutional disaster, but now justice itself is used to persecute, punish, torture," he said.

He added that Venezuelans face extremely inefficient justice to combat violence and that judges are also under control of the executive branch. "The case of Leopoldo López is a clear example: in the face of obvious arbitrary detention, this is justified under elaborate arguments, and even ignoring the opinion of the United Nations Organization in favor of the leader of the Popular Will party.
