The president of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), Caryslia Rodríguez, highlighted International Law this Thursday as one of the fundamental pillars for building a world based on justice, equity and peace, values extolled by Venezuela despite threats and multiple attacks by the United States (USA).

During her participation in the Meeting of Jurists in Defense of International Law, held in Caracas on November 13 and 14, the magistrate emphasized the defense of “ the regulatory architecture that has allowed humanity to resolve conflicts while respecting the sovereign equality of States. The cornerstone of this system is the principle that obliges them to comply with the treaties to which they are party, which constitutes the backbone in relations between nations,” he said.

In this regard, he stressed that “this Meeting of Jurists is consolidated as a space to reaffirm the validity and the imperative need of International Law as the fundamental pillar for the preservation of peace, security and cooperation between States.”

He said that principles such as “the prohibition of the use of force, the peaceful resolution of disputes, non-intervention in the internal affairs of other countries and cooperation constitute the peremptory and fundamental norms that the international community as a whole accepts and recognizes as mandatory. They are universal principles that protect common interests and cannot be violated”, and “their violation not only generates international responsibility on the part of the offending State, but also shocks the conscience of humanity”, as evidenced by the US military deployment in the Caribbean and its threats against the Bolivarian nation.

“We must be the first to denounce the violation of ethical and legal values as instruments of peace and equality among the peoples of the world (...) Today we raise our voices once again to reaffirm our commitment to life, to self-determination and to our right to follow the path we have chosen,” concluded Rodríguez.
