Bolivia’s abstention in the UN Security Council resolution condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine was criticized by the former presidentEduardo Rodríguez Veltzé, who recalled the spirit of the Political Constitution of the State and the contradiction of the rulers of the day.
“If you condemned the aggression there was no room for abstention. @MRE_Bolivia, what is the value of our adherence to the UN Charter and the CPE that reject aggressive war as a means of resolving conflicts between states?”, questioned the former Bolivian president.
This Wednesday, the extraordinary session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) passed a resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The document was supported by 141 countries of the 193 that this multilateral organization has. 35 nations including Bolivia, Cuba, El Salvador and Nicaragua abstained from voting and five others spoke in favor of Russia.
In his speech before this Assembly, the Bolivian representative, Diego Pary, had condemned the aggression, but at the time of the vote his speech was not consistent with his action. “In this constitutional framework, my country rejects all the invasions and unilateral actions carried out by various powers throughout recent history, violating international law and the Charter of the United Nations itself. An example of this is Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Palestine and today, Ukraine”, Pary had declared.
It is the second time that the former president refers to the actions of the Government Bolivian in particular. On February 26, he claimed that the country had not complied with what the Magna Carta mandates when these types of situations exist in the international arena.
“Bolivia, loyal to its Constitution, condemned in the UN aggressions against the Palestinian, Syrian, Iraqi and other peoples. Today, the Government chooses not to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine. RREE omits principle Art, 10, II. CPE”, Rodríguez Veltzé posted on his personal Twitter account.
