The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Yván Gil, published on his Telegram channel new reports from UN experts that reveal the risks of the “illegal and unilateral” naval blockade imposed by the United States against the country.
Gil ratified on his social networks the repudiation of these violations that, according to him, attack the human right to life and the rights of the region in terms of peace, free trade and navigation. “We value the call for collective action by UN Member States to protect and safeguard international law,” the diplomat added.
UN specialists denounce that there is no right to impose unilateral sanctions through blockade; Therefore, they consider this to be “an armed attack” under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
“There are concerns that the sanctions are illegal, disproportionate and punitive, in accordance with international law,” they say.
The experts condemn, once again, the aggression against Venezuela and stated that these measures are illicit and disproportionate to the extrajudicial executions that demonstrate an obvious violation of the right to life, according to the published report.
