02:36The president of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), Caryslia Beatriz Rodriguez, announced on Saturday in Caracas that the ruling on the electoral dispute after the July 28 presidential elections will be 'definitive'.
"Since this is the highest judicial instance in electoral matters, its decisions are unappealable and must be complied with," Rodriguez said.
"The Supreme Court of Justice of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reiterates its commitment to imparting justice to the Venezuelan people. Therefore, nothing will stop us from fulfilling our sacred mission," she added.
Footage shows President Rodriguez entering the auditorium greeting ambassadors, officials, and civil servants and delivering her speech.
It comes after presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia claimed that he is the legitimate winner of the July 28 presidential election. However, he did not appear before the court as it was ordered for an audit of the contested vote.
The Electoral Chamber is currently in the final stages of its review.
The government-aligned National Electoral Council certified the vote for Maduro, granting him a third six-year term. However, the decision was rejected by the opposition and led to intense protests.
The United States and several Latin American countries have recognised Gonzalez as the winner of the presidential election and have called on Venezuela's election officials to release their data.
The National Electoral Council has not yet published detailed results from the vote. In the meantime, the opposition has made available copies of 84 per cent of the ballots cast, which they claim show a clear victory for their candidate, Urrutia. The government, however, disputes these results, alleging that they are fabricated.
