A coalition of nations has issued a formal condemnation of recent actions authorized by former U.S. President Donald Trump, declaring them in direct violation of fundamental principles of international law. The collective statement emphasizes that these operations contravene core tenets of the United Nations Charter, specifically the prohibition against the use and threat of force and the imperative to respect state sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The nations further characterized these actions as establishing an ‘extremely dangerous precedent’ that severely undermines regional peace and security while placing civilian populations at significant risk. The statement articulates a firm position that the resolution of the Venezuelan situation must be achieved exclusively through peaceful means, including dialogue and negotiation that respects the expressed will of the Venezuelan people, free from any form of external interference and in strict compliance with international legal standards.

Reaffirming the foundational status of Latin America and the Caribbean as a ‘Zone of Peace,’ the document underscores principles of mutual respect, the peaceful settlement of disputes, and absolute non-intervention. It issues a powerful call for regional unity, transcending political differences, to confront any measures that threaten to destabilize the area.

The coalition has formally urged United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, along with member states of pertinent multilateral mechanisms, to employ their diplomatic offices to actively contribute to de-escalating tensions and safeguarding regional peace.

Concluding the declaration, the nations expressed profound concern regarding any external attempts to seize governmental control, administration, or ownership of Venezuela’s natural and strategic resources. They emphasized that such appropriation is fundamentally incompatible with international law and poses a direct threat to the political, economic, and social stability of the entire region.

In a nationally televised statement, Uruguay’s President Luis Lacalle Pou articulated his nation’s firm commitment to foundational principles of international relations, emphasizing non-intervention and the peaceful settlement of disputes. The address outlined Uruguay’s diplomatic stance regarding external military involvement in Venezuela’s political affairs.

The president underscored that Uruguay maintains a long-established foreign policy tradition that rejects interference in the internal matters of sovereign states, particularly through coercive measures or military force. He reiterated his government’s dedication to resolving international conflicts through dialogue and negotiation rather than confrontation.

Central to Uruguay’s position are the core tenets of international law, including the sovereign equality of all nations and the imperative of defending multilateralism. President Lacalle Pou emphasized that these principles form the bedrock of his administration’s approach to global affairs.

Significantly, the Uruguayan leader revealed that his country coordinates with a coalition of nations including Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, and Spain regarding the Venezuela situation. This collaborative approach aims to present a unified perspective in international forums while seeking diplomatic solutions.

President Lacalle Pou confirmed that Uruguay will pursue this consensus position through multiple diplomatic channels, including active engagement within the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the Organization of American States (OAS). The ultimate objective remains facilitating a peaceful resolution to the ongoing political crisis in Venezuela through institutional frameworks and dialogue.

A prominent international association has issued a forceful condemnation of recent actions targeting Venezuelan leadership, characterizing them as unlawful under established global governance principles. The Association of Caribbean Unity and Regional Entities (ACURE) has formally denounced what it describes as the effective abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, asserting these actions constitute a blatant violation of diplomatic immunities granted to sitting heads of state.

In an official communiqué disseminated through the Cuban Consulate in Ecuador, ACURE posed a challenging question to United States authorities: “Under which specific tenets of International Law does the United States presume the authority to act as global adjudicator while simultaneously disregarding fundamental international legal standards?”

The organization additionally expressed strong opposition to President Donald Trump’s assertion of American jurisdiction over Venezuelan affairs during a recent press briefing. ACURE specifically condemned the invocation of the nineteenth-century Monroe Doctrine as justification, labeling this approach “entirely illicit and contrary to contemporary international legal frameworks.”

Further analysis from the association suggests that potential military engagement would be principally motivated by Washington’s strategic interests in controlling Venezuela’s substantial natural resources, including petroleum reserves, gold deposits, and critical rare earth elements essential for modern technology.

The statement provided historical context referencing previous military interventions throughout the region, cautioning against the repetition of such patterns driven primarily by economic ambitions rather than humanitarian or democratic concerns. ACURE emphasized the imperative of immediately restoring President Maduro and his wife to their rightful positions while advocating for strengthened respect for national sovereignty and international law as cornerstones of peaceful global coexistence.

A substantial crowd of demonstrators convened peacefully outside the United States diplomatic mission in Madrid on Sunday, responding to a mobilization call from the Committee Against NATO and Military Bases alongside the Antifascist International. The assembly, which drew thousands, was met with a significant security presence comprising Spanish Civil Guard and national police forces.

Protesters vocalized strong opposition to U.S. foreign policy through resonant chants including “Yankees hands off Venezuela” and demands to cease American interference while respecting Latin American sovereignty. The visual symbolism of the gathering extended beyond Venezuelan flags to include Palestinian banners, merging condemnation of Israel’s military actions in Gaza with criticisms of NATO’s escalating militarism and European Union complicity.

Araceli Escudero, representing the Bolivarian Solidarity Platform and Cuban friendship associations, characterized the event as exceptionally successful. She noted the unprecedented turnout for such a demonstration in recent memory, warning that current developments in Venezuela represent a comprehensive violation of rights with potential to destabilize the entire Latin American and Caribbean region. Escudero’s statements to Prensa Latina emphasized the interconnected nature of global geopolitical struggles against Western interventionism.

A coalition of international voices has sharply criticized what they characterize as an unprecedented interventionist escalation by the United States government against Venezuela’s leadership. The coordinated response follows reports of operations targeting Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, which multiple organizations have denounced as an illegal kidnapping attempt designed to destabilize the legitimately constituted government of the Bolivarian Republic.

Central to the condemnation is the assertion that these actions represent an extrajudicial application of force that undermines international norms. The movement argues that Washington’s operations seek to effectively decapitate Venezuela’s democratic institutions through means that circumvent established legal frameworks.

Amid the widespread criticism, Salvadoran legislator Claudia Ortiz of the center-right Vamos party offered a more nuanced perspective. While not defending the Maduro government, Ortiz questioned the methodological implications of such operations, emphasizing that “the challenge for the region is not only to combat organized crime, but to do so without making the exception the rule or weakening the rule of law.” The parliamentarian, quoted extensively in El Mundo, further expressed concerns about the United States exercising power without democratic constraints, warning that “without active institutions, no democracy can withstand the pressure” of such approaches.

The political condemnation has been amplified by social and popular movements across El Salvador. Multiple labor unions have aligned with statements from the World Federation of Trade Unions, which contends that Washington’s true objective centers on gaining control over Venezuela’s substantial oil reserves. This economic interpretation of geopolitical motives has gained traction among critical voices.

Adding to the chorus of disapproval, three significant organizations—the Antifascist International El Salvador Chapter, the Operation Solidarity Network, and Mission Miracle—have jointly reaffirmed their rejection of the operations against Venezuela’s leadership. These groups have characterized the actions as violations of national sovereignty that establish dangerous precedents for international relations in the Western Hemisphere.
