The organizations affirmed that the principles and norms of international law, which emerged after the two world wars, constitute a fundamental civilizational achievement for coexistence between sovereign States and an indispensable limit against the use of force, domination and expansionism of the great powers. “Any action by a State outside the international order lacks legality and legitimacy and must be repudiated by the international community,” the manifesto maintains.
The Frente Amplio and Alianza Pais denounced the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, national representative Cilia Flores, as an act of war, pointing out that this action violates the guarantees that protect heads of state and demanded their immediate release. They indicated that these events confirm a dangerous escalation that threatens regional and world peace.
Political organizations warned that the true motivation for the aggression against Venezuela is the appropriation of its natural resources, returning the region to colonial practices that were believed to be outdated. “The Venezuelan people are the sole and legitimate owners of their resources, and their exploitation must be oriented exclusively to the well-being of Venezuelans,” he stressed.
They recalled that neither Venezuela, nor the Caribbean, nor Latin America are the backyard of any power, and that the peoples of the region conquered their independence and their right to self-determination more than two centuries ago.
Likewise, they highlighted that the Dominican people know first-hand the consequences of the use of force, after having suffered the US military interventions of 1916 and 1965.
Finally, the manifesto called to preserve Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace and urged the Dominican State to refrain from participating in any action that threatens the sovereignty of another country, in coherence with the constitutional mandate that enshrines the principle of non-intervention as an invariable norm of Dominican international policy.
