On May 21, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs activated the Special Automated <\/span>Registry<\/span><\/a> of Non-Domiciled Non-Governmental Organizations (REGONG, in Spanish), a platform in which all foreign NGOs must register in order to continue their activities in the country. REGONG arises from a <\/span>joint resolution<\/span><\/a> of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Relations, Justice and Peace issued in October 2020, but only now became effective.<\/span><\/p>

Some of the items that NGOs must inform at the time of registration are: their name, place of incorporation, address in Venezuela, objectives, activities they carry out in the country; internal governance and local representation. The information will be later verified by the Office of Multilateral Issues and Integration to verify “the reliability” of the data provided.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Registration in the RENONG may be rejected “for reasons of public order and sovereignty”, leaving the door open to arbitrary decisions by the authorities when reviewing applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
