The international analyst, Jorge Valero, said that if the US attack against civilians in the Caribbean is proven, as recent research reports suggest, we would be faced with a war crime and a violation of human rights. Valero described the alleged incident as a “murder in international waters” that contravenes international law and maritime law.
According to Valero’s statements, issued through telephone contact for Venezuelan television (VTV), if this event is confirmed, it would not be a simple isolated incident, but would evidence a chaotic and anarchic foreign policy by the United States, which seeks to destabilize the world order to expand its imperialist influence and protect its economic interests. These types of actions, he added, have caused a response of cooperation between emerging powers.
Threat to Venezuela and its resources
The analyst also linked these actions to the interest of the US. Uu. For weakening the Government of Venezuela to be able to control its hydrocarbon resources, to move the economic balance in their favor. This supposed act, describing it as “repudiable”, would be framed in a strategy to dominate the region.
Valero emphasized that, given the alleged incursion of a vessel in waters of another country, the correct answer must be through the established diplomatic and legal protocols, to avoid any escalation that may compromise regional stability.
Valero’s statements arise as a result of a recent interview published by the investigation means The Intercept, which reveals that the United States would have committed crimes against civilians in the Caribbean in a “lethal attack” against a vessel. Affirmation that coincides with the public contempt that some figures of the US administration have shown.
