A graduate of the Universidad Central de Venezuela, Chaderton is one of the most experienced members of the Venezuelan diplomatic corps.
He was the director-general of the Pedro Gual Diplomatic Institute at the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry [1], previously he was chancellery coordinator, deputy at the Latin American Parliament in Panama, Venezuelan Ambassador empowered to pursue peace talks with the Government of Colombia and FARC in Cuba and In-charge of International Affairs of the PSUV [2].
In 2015, the group Venezuelans Persecuted in Exile (Veppex) in Miami asked the Secretary General of the Organization of American States José Miguel Insulza to sanction Roy Chaderton, then ambassador to the organization, for a controversial statement made during an interview on the program Zurda Konducta [es] of the state-owned Venezolana de Televisión.
Chaderton apologized for his comment saying that his statements were taken out of context, and that what he was trying to warn was that in the face of an "invasion by the United States" there would be no distinction between Chavistas and opponents.
[3][4] The sanctions were for behaviors that undermined democracy after at least 125 people were killed in the 2017 Venezuelan protests and "in response to the government of Venezuela's deepening descent into dictatorship"; Chrystia Freeland, Foreign Minister said, "Canada will not stand by silently as the government of Venezuela robs its people of their fundamental democratic rights".
