AIPSN condemns the US action on Venezuela

The abduction and arrest of Nicolas Maduro and his wife by the Donald Trump administration is a blatant act of war, a raw demonstration of imperial power and an illegal intervention in another country’s internal affairs. The invasion of one sovereign nation to arrest its elected leader on unproven charges is a gross violation of international law and the United Nations charter. Acting President Delcy Rodriguez who took over charge after Maduro’s abduction has said “The war on drugs is a pretext, and the United States’ true objective is regime change and control of the country’s energy, mineral and natural resources “. It must be noted that Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world, which the USA is attempting to expropriate. The right of self-determination of countries must be a non negotiable in the modern world order.

The fake charges against the Venezuelan government echo the pretext of weapons of mass destruction used to invade Iraq. It is also very similar to the 1989 US invasion of Panama to capture Manuel Noriega. The accusation against Venezuela of a drug and weapons war against the United States is a fabricated narrative. There is no credible evidence emerging from any international agency, judicial body, or even official government data in the United States to prove so.

The AIPSN unequivocally condemns the unprovoked brazen military invasion and bombing of Venezuela which constitute war crimes. These criminal actions against Venezuela follow the criminal bombings against Iran and Gaza/Palestine by the imperialist USA and its allies in recent months. These actions of the USA dramatically increase the risk of worldwide escalation of war with unforeseen consequences for the whole world. We stand by and support the struggle of the people of Venezuela to defend their country ,in the face of formidable odds, against this American imperialist intervention.

The AIPSN calls upon its member organizations to organize public protests against the US attack on Venezuela.
