04:11In other topics, the Colombian Senator and President of the Colombia Humana Politico Movement, Gloria Ines Flores Snyder, condemned the government of the United States' actions against Venezuela in statements.
04:30The communique begins by saying,
04:31In times when war drums are beating, we in the Caribbean are committed to beating the drums of peace for the dignity and joy of the peoples.
04:39Today, more than ever, the world must raise its voice and firmly reject the threat of military intervention against our sister Republic of Venezuela and against all of Latin America and the Caribbean.
04:49The statement continues,
04:50The actions of the U.S. government not only constitute a dangerous military escalation in one of the few areas of the world that has been declared a continent of peace,
04:59but also violate international public law and international human rights law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,
05:06which expressly prohibits attacks on civilian vessels in international waters.
05:11It concludes,
05:12We demand an immediate end to this imperialist aggression and all forms of interference in the internal affairs of our region.
05:19We do not want to see the CIA destabilizing countries again, nor do we want to relieve dark chapters of Latin American history,
05:26such as the Plan Condor, the coup against Allende, the intervention in Grenada, the invasion of El Chorrillo in Panama,
05:32Playa GirĂłn and so many other interventions that left death, dispossession and desolation in their wake.
05:38It is urgent to defend the right of the peoples of our America and the world to sovereignty, self-determination and peace.
05:50Meanwhile, in Trinidad and Tobago, on behalf of the Assembly of the Peoples of the Caribbean,
05:54Assemblymember David Abdullah requested a meeting with the heads of government of CARICOM
05:59to adopt a position regarding the threat posed by United States military deployment.
06:04There was a call to the people of the Caribbean that we must stand firm,
06:08that the Caribbean must remain a zone of peace, that there should be no U.S. intervention.
06:14We declared that the sovereignty of the nation states of our region is not and must not be up for sale,
06:20that regional unity and integration are crucial to our development and survival in the context of a changing global order,
06:29and therefore call on CARICOM heads of government to meet urgently on this emerging situation
06:35and to adopt a unified position.
06:39David Abdullah also condemned the alleged creation by the United States of an international coalition to intervene in Venezuela.
06:46He denounced the so-called creation by the U.S. of an international coalition against narco-trafficking,
06:52as it is the seed of an alliance of a minority of states in this hemisphere
06:58that would be used to create some cloak of legality under the OAS to intervene in Venezuela,
07:05as was attempted and failed through the so-called Lima Group.
07:10And we further call on these governments not to allow the U.S. to use their countries as a military staging point
07:17to attack any sovereign state.
