ALBA-TCP joins Venezuela’s demand for the release of the Venezuelan crew of the Boeing 747
The member states of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) join the demand of the people and the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela for the release of the Venezuelan crew held in illegally and illegitimately by the Judicial Authorities of the Argentine Republic together with the Boeing 747 aircraft owned by the Aerocargo del Sur Transport Company (Emtrasur), a subsidiary of the Venezuelan airline Conviasa, which had been participating in various humanitarian aid tasks in the region in response to natural disasters.
This illegal retention constitutes a violation of the basic human rights of the crew, such as freedom of movement and respect for personal dignity, and is part of a new maneuver of non-compliance with the Charter of the United Nations and International Law based on the illegal unilateral coercive measures applied against Venezuela.
The unwavering commitment to the postulates of the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace of CELAC is ratified, in the face of any action that attempts to damage the spirit of cooperation and friendship between the peoples of sister nations.
Caracas, September 6, 2022.
