Abstract

This paper, analyzes the undermining on the human rights of the Warao people in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, due to the epidemic existing during 2019 and 2020 among them, which was also confirmed on the context of the pandemic generated by COVID-19. This is a documental investigation with a qualitative approach, checking doctrine, law and jurisprudence to gather useful information. It was concluded that the Warao ethnic group has been abandoned in the middle of the generation of the HIV, compromising their rights to life, health, etc. It was also observed that these people were ignored because a lot of resources are being redirected to fight the coronavirus, so the Venezuelan State is responsible to correct this situation as a guardian of the fundamental rights.
