one international relations expert and Political Science Professor at the University of Alberta says, while the call to the United Nations is both appropriate and even necessary, he does not believe the UN Security Council will take significant action on the matter.
00:00I don't think that we can consider the possibility of the Security Council getting too heavily involved because the United States, as you know, is a veto-wielding power within the permanent five members of the United Nations.
00:16So of the five permanent members in the United Nations Security Council, the United States is one of those veto-wielding powers and therefore would probably want to stop any attempt at the United Nations getting involved in this situation off the coast of Venezuela.
00:37But it's necessary, I think it's absolutely fundamentally necessary that something should be done to hold the United States accountable for these crimes against humanity, for this undeclared war, for the extrajudicial killings that it has done over the last few weeks.
