LIVE: UN Security Council holds emergency meeting on US operations in Venezuela
Security Council LIVE: ‘The power of the law must prevail’ amid Venezuela crisis, says Guterres
The Security Council met in emergency session in New York to address the US rendition of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro from Caracas, a move that has sent shockwaves through the region and beyond. The UN chief António Guterres told ambassadors there must be respect for national sovereignty, “political independence and territorial integrity,” after warning on Saturday that the US had set a “dangerous precedent” for the world order.
USA's handlingar har upprört många länder och möts av kraftigt fördömande.
USA hävdar så klart att detta var för att Maduro skeppar in droger, är illegalt tillsatt och detta är vad Venezuelas befolkning vill ha.
Sanctions will be enforced to the maximum possible extent, said the representative of the United States, to “deprive [Venezuelan President Nicolás] Maduro of the resources he uses to fund the Cartel [de los Soles]”.
This, he added, includes profits from the sale of oil, as the sale of oil “enables his fraudulent claim to power and his narco-terrorist activities”.
The United States “will do everything in our considerable power to protect our hemisphere, our borders and the American people”, he pledged.
De flesta länder fördömer USA för att ha kränkt internationell lag.
Mexico’s representative said the United States’ action must not be permitted, calling it a violation of the UN Charter and a threat to multilateralism.
Stressing that the Council has an “obligation to act decisively and without double standards”, he said it is for “sovereign peoples to decide their destinies” with full respect for human rights.
Warning against regime change by external actors and extraterritorial measures, he said such actions have “historically” only exacerbated conflicts and weakened societies.
Hur legitimt är det amerikanska argumentet? Ifall USA nu har gravt kränkt internationell lag kan de då dras inför ex ICC. Finns det något FN faktiskt kan göra tom att agera som ett forum? Är det något lands uttalande som var oförväntat?
Danmark uttalar sig med, låter försiktigt fördömande i mina öron.
