The Steering Committee of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) expressed concern on Monday at the continued military presence of the United States (US) in Caribbean waters, clearly aimed at assuming a belligerent position for the control of the region's strategic resources, particularly those of Venezuela.

“Under the dehumanizing pretext of building Venezuela as a narco-terrorist state before the international community, it is intended to make the Caribbean a historic zone of peace, a zone of no law, a new territory of war, destruction, genocide and imperialist dispossession,” warned the entity's statement, which also called for impunity for the alleged attacks and extrajudicial executions carried out against civilian fishermen.

This unilateral aggression constitutes a new scale of the strategy of advancing and attacking the democratic processes and self-determination of our peoples, which includes lawfare, criminal blockades, cognitive wars, coups d'etat and territorial threats that violate historic treaties, such as the Panama Canal.

“The CLACSO Steering Committee thus calls for the deployment of our American and global solidarity, to our academics and intellectuals, to all our peoples, to unite in the defense of our human humanity, in the defense of life in the face of the necropolitics of American imperialism,” concluded the organization's message.
