The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez, called on the countries of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) to unite in demanding the aggression of the United States (USA) against Venezuela, which constitutes a violation of international law.
“It is an existential threat (
US action), of a historical and transversal nature to all political forces,
ideologies and ways of thinking, so CELAC should be
able to put aside differences, which are of a different nature (...) and that,
if we want to be independent, having Latin American and Caribbean cultures and independent national states
and a minimum of sovereign equality (...)
we will have to unite (...) and mobilize efforts diplomats and politicians
to demand respect for the Constitutional order of Venezuela, respect for the
authorities and their sovereignty; it is our duty to bring this complaint (...) and
we will have to demand accountability for these aggressions,” he said, during the CELAC Extraordinary
Summit.
He reaffirmed that the United States took peace
from Latin America and the Caribbean, with its vile and criminal military action against civilian and military
installations in Caracas and other cities in Venezuela,
specifying that such actions not only constitute acts of aggression and State
terrorism, but also flagrantly violate the principles and
purposes enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations (UN)
and international law.
He also reiterated the rejection of the kidnapping
of President Nicolás Maduro and the First Lady, Cilia Flores,
by the North American country; therefore, he indicated that it is imperative to immediately
demand verifiable guarantees of the integrity and
security of the Venezuelan head of state and his wife, and to demand their unconditional and immediate release.
He recalled that “Latin America and the
Caribbean is not a disputed territory nor does it belong to anyone other than the peoples
of its countries (...) Cuba rejects the brutal intention to impose the Monroe Doctrine by
military force”, questioning the interventionist intentions of the United States.
“Let us not allow force and barbarism to prevail over international law (...) the aggression that occurs today against Venezuela must be assumed by our collective of nations as an aggression against the community,” he said.
