00:00Venezuela's parliament passed the law that gave the legal framework for its entry into

00:04the International Organization for Mediation, an initiative of China as an alternative to

00:10the United Nations system where disputes can be settled respecting international law.

00:15The report with Madeleine Garcia, let's see.

00:18And the bell rang, the National Assembly unanimously approved the law of the International

00:29Convention for Mediation, a Chinese initiative where a new legal architecture will be built

00:34to allow countries to dialogue with respect to settle any controversy in the political,

00:38economic and social fields.

00:47After our country joins this important organization for mediation, let's start packing our bags

00:56and get out of all those instruments that United States imperialism has supposedly mediators,

01:03defenders of human rights of what they care about.

01:08It is shameful how the High Commissioner, I don't know how tall he is.

01:14I don't know if he is tall because in terms of moral character, he should be called the

01:19Low Commissioner for the United Nations if he would not have said anything about our 252

01:26citizens injustly kidnapped.

01:30The United Nations system has also failed to stop the genocide in Gaza.

01:38More than 70,000 dead at home, an entire population, its territory, its hospitals, its schools have disappeared

01:47and none of these international organizations has come out to defend humanity, to defend human

01:53dignity, to defend children, doctors, journalists, bombed and disemboweled in the Gaza Strip by

02:00the criminal government of Israel, hopefully sooner rather than later.

02:05Let us not leave this path and let us join the International Commission for Mediation.

02:11An alternative to inefficiency where it seems that there are human rights la carte, at the

02:17convenience of some, the most powerful, and for others human rights are used as a political

02:21weapon.

02:26It is evident that there is a collapse of the traditional United Nations organizations and

02:31other organizations are collapsing in the face of the reality of the violence that has been

02:35developing in many areas up to the global level.

02:38So we hope that this initiative, this new organization that is being created today and

02:42which our country is joining, can in some way complement the efforts of the existing organizations

02:47and make a fundamental contribution to the preservation of peace.

02:58The United Nations system can no longer provide guarantees for the preservation of democracy,

03:05respect for the sovereignty of peoples and the enforcement of international law.

03:10By absolute majority we approve this law, which gives guarantees to the government to act

03:16in this intermediary instance, which is a sign of the new emerging world that opposes the

03:22dictatorship of global capitalism.

03:24The country is one of the first to create a law to firmly incorporate this new international

03:31mediation body.
