At the request of Venezuela, the United Nations may hold an emergency meeting on January 5. UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated that U.S. military action would set a dangerous precedent. Guterres called on all parties to respect international law, including the UN Charter, and expressed hope that differences could be resolved through political means.
Currently, Venezuela has submitted meeting documents to the UN Security Council. The Venezuelan government is requesting the following:
1. That the UN Security Council convene an emergency meeting
2. That the Security Council condemn the U.S.'s acts of aggression
3. That the U.S. must stop the attacks
4. That the U.S. be held accountable for its acts of aggression
The following is a personal statement and unrelated to the latest news.
This meeting is very important. It is related to the post-World War II international order. If the U.S.'s aggression toward Venezuela is not stopped or is vetoed by the U.S., it would be a serious violation of the UN Charter. The post-World War II international order would no longer exist, and the UN would lose its legitimacy. This is the most likely outcome.
