00:00In Colombia, different political and social groups are condemning the violation of international humanitarian law
00:06committed by the United States through its military presence and attacks on ships in Caribbean waters
00:12under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking.
00:15Let's take a closer look at the issue.
00:20Some sectors in Colombia consider the attacks on small boats in the Caribbean by the United States
00:26to be violations of international law and extrajudicial executions, as well as illegal acts.
00:35The President of the United States has calmly stated that they are bombing all vessels
00:40approaching the coast of Venezuela without any caution.
00:48They could be fishermen, they could be tourists, they could be drug traffickers.
00:52International laws clearly require that the vessel be boarded first, and if there are
00:57real reasons to detain people, they cannot be shot or massacred.
01:07I believe this is a clear violation of international law and a humanitarian law that cannot be accepted.
01:13From the legislature, some congressmen maintain that this strategy by the United States and
01:24its government aims not only to undermine the sovereignty of the region, but also to harass
01:29left-wing governments in the region and warn about the repercussions for the territory.
01:33First, they need an excuse, and today the excuse is supposedly the attack on drug trafficking in
01:43the Caribbean Sea, when most of it takes place in the Pacific.
01:51They already have the excuse, now comes the military presence. They did it in the waters and
01:56they are even saying how they have done it in the Middle East and have destabilized that entire
02:00area, that there would be land intervention. In other words, the intervention of our sovereignty
02:05over this territory, and after they do that, the consolidation of COPs against the political
02:09groups that are elected in the territories at that time.
02:16This is very worrying, and it is not just Venezuela, it is the region, and we all have to unite to
02:21prevent this intervention.
02:26For many, this United States policy is evidence of the internal decline that the country is
02:34experiencing, and of a government that seeks to maintain control over the region.
02:38It is clearly an excuse, a pretext to attack Latin American countries, especially Venezuela,
02:47to subjugate them, to threaten them. We don't know what he is going to do, but also to achieve
02:52its strategic interests in the region, to send a very clear message to Colombia and Venezuela,
02:56because it is also very confrontational with Petro.
02:59The actions of the United States are described as a threat in a strong statement by the head
03:09of Colombian diplomacy, who rejected the Trump administration's warfare tactics to combat
03:14drug trafficking, arguing that these people have always been seized and arrested without the need
03:18to kill them, actions that are part of a foreign policy that Colombia does not share.
03:23Marken a foreign policy that Colombia does not share.
