‎Defensoría del Pueblo rejects the actions of the U.S. government against President Nicolás Maduro and International Law
‎
‎La The Office of the Ombudsman of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expresses its strongest condemnation of the recent action of the United States government, through its spokesperson Pamela Bondi, who raised to 50 million dollars the alleged reward for the capture of the head of state and democratically elected President Nicolás Maduro Moros, in an act that constitutes a flagrant violation of the law International and the principles of sovereignty and non-intervention; as well as the reiteration of inventions and lies to promote violence.
‎
‎Esta unilateral measure threatens the integrity and security of the Venezuelan head of state, ignoring and once again disparaging International Law, the Charter of the United Nations, American law itself, as well as the democratic and constitutional mechanisms through which he was elected. The Office of the Ombudsman believes that these types of actions generate a climate of tension and hostility that harms internal peace and regional stability, also putting global security at risk.
‎
‎Asimismo, the institution reaffirms its commitment to the defense of national sovereignty, human rights and respect for the democratic institutions in force in Venezuela. This type of coercive and extraterritorial acts are contrary to the Charter of the United Nations and to the international norms that regulate relations between States. One more attack in addition to the economic siege, the theft of Conviasa planes and the countless attacks on the national economy, such as those carried out against the CITGO Aid and Donation Fund and the money for vaccines and transplants and operations for Venezuelan girls and boys, abundantly documented by United Nations rapporteurs.
‎
‎La Ombudsman's Office calls on the international community to reject any attempt at aggression that violates the self-determination of the Venezuelan people and to refrain from actions that violate the sovereignty and internal peace of the nation. The defense of the sovereign equality of States, the self-determination of peoples and the principles of non-intervention are fundamental pillars of international law, also the basis of human rights. As the Mexican hero and president, Benito Juárez, said in 1867, “between people and between nations, respect for the rights of others is peace.”
