Chavez: Venezuela to Pull out of Rights Court

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Tuesday that his government will pull out of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in protest after a ruling that he called a travesty.

Chavez said earlier this year that Venezuela should pull out of another related rights body, the Washington-based Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

Chavez went further on Tuesday, saying he had instructed his foreign minister to take the necessary steps to withdraw from the Costa Rica-based rights court.
