Maduro's Defense Strategy: Restitution and Head of State Immunity Under Vienna Convention

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's defense against international charges hinges on the principle of 'restitution' under the Vienna Convention. This legal remedy, if applied, would require his physical return to Venezuela, re-establishing the situation before any alleged wrongful act. The defense argues that sitting heads of state possess absolute immunity to ensure stable diplomacy, focusing on the remedy rather than innocence.
