Boiling cauldron reminds US relationships and Venezuelan with the latter complaining by letter to her UN The “most recent and dangerous developments” in the United States policy, referring to “continuing harassment” and “unprecedented level of hostility” following the development of US military forces in the Caribbean.
In a letter served on UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres, Venezuela argues that “the presence of destroyer and rocket -wage cruiser, as well as the development of a nuclear submarine, has caused particular concern”.
Venezuela stresses that ‘For the first time in history, military means with nuclear capacity have been introduced into Latin America and the Caribbean. “ In a “action that openly violates the Tlatelolco Treaty”, which since 1968 established the nuclearization of the area and binds the US, based on Protocols 1 and 2, to respect the area “from Rio Grande to the land of fire” as a free zone of nuclear weapons.
According to the Maduro government, US companies “constitute a blatant violation of the United Nations Charter” as They are contrary to Article 2 for the equitable sovereignty of states, the peaceful resolution of disputes, the prohibition of use of violence and the principle of non -intervention. “They also unknowingly ignore the Declaration of the Latin American and Caribbean Community (Celac), which in 2014 declared our area of peace,” the letter is added.
Caracas denounces “in the most intense way” that “the introduction of a nuclear element into the Caribbean undermines the stability of the hemisphere, erodes confidence in the international regime of non -dissemination and disarmament, and endangers both regional and international peace.”
At the same time, it reaffirms Venezuela’s “steady commitment” to international law and respect for the sovereignty of the states, calling on the Secretary General ‘To actively defend fundamental values and principles that are guaranteed on the map’ And to demand from the US “to stop once their hostile actions and threats”.
“The historical peoples of the world would not accept the inactivity of the international community against a threat of such magnitude,” he said.
Concluding her letter, Venezuela states that “does not raise a threat to anyone” and that “the real threat to the stability of the region is the US military and nuclear presence in the Caribbean”. As he points out, “our country and our people will never accept the enforcement of violence or violating their inquisitive rights, including the right to self -determination.”
“It is ridiculous to believe that they are fighting for drug trafficking with nuclear submarines”
Venezuelan’s unprofessional in the United Nations, Samuel Monkada, denounced the presence of US military forces in the Caribbean as a “serious threat” and “propaganda campaign aimed at destabilizing and justifying military”.
Responding to journalists’ questions, Mr Montkada said that “it is ridiculous to believe that they are fighting for drug trafficking with nuclear submarines.” As he added, “only the announcement of eight warships with the ability to bomb anywhere in Venezuela is escalating.”
Asked if there is evidence that US vessels are nuclear armed, he replied that “we are not us who must answer, but those who send them are the ones who have to clarify.”
Mr. Montcada characterized the situation “violation of the UN map”, stressing that “the threat of violence is a violation of the map itself” and that the US “ignores their international obligations with the false excuse of combating drug trafficking”.
He also denounced Washington’s decision to describe the Venezuelanes “hostile foreigners”.
“They said that all Venezuelans over 14 are a national threat. This is pure racism, “he said.
Mr. Montkada spoke of “Excessive, ridiculous, irrational rhetoric » which “must be exposed to international accountability, because it is the basis for military action against a UN member state that is not a threat to anyone”.
Referring to US drug arguments, he noted that “the main trafficking routes are in the Pacific Ocean. They made the wrong ocean. Venezuela is not a drug producer, we are free from crops and laboratories. We participate less than 5% in the trafficking. This is a constructed narrative. “
He even added that the US would have to deal with “Pharmaceutical companies that sell legitimate oxycodone and other medicines, causing 70,000 deaths of young Americans each year.”
He reiterated that “America’s real intention is clear: they do not recognize our president as legal, accusing us of invading their territory and offered $ 50 billion for our president. It is clearly a coup. “
