00:00In other topics, in the United Nations headquarters, Samuel Moncada, permanent representative

00:05of Venezuela in this organization, rejected on Thursday the reiterated bias statements

00:11offered by the United Nations spokesperson regarding the military presence of U.S. military

00:16vessels in the Caribbean.

00:17Let's listen.

00:18We are here at the United Nations where we have just handed a letter to the Secretary

00:22General rejecting the continued bias comments of his spokesperson on the ongoing U.S. military

00:29buildup of our costs.

00:32Given the lack of actions from the Secretary General to address this issue, which we have

00:36raised multiple times with him by private means, we are now making this denunciation public

00:44in the hope that this prevailing pattern be terminated once for all.

00:50I will now read the letter that was delivered to the Secretary General on this subject on

00:55which we await a formal response.

00:57Here is the letter.

00:59Distinguished Secretary General, once again, I am compelled to address Your Excellency in

01:05the opportunity of referring to comments made on November 12, 2025 by Mr. Stephan Dujarric,

01:13spokesperson to the Secretary General during his daily press briefing.

01:18In that regard, I would like to convey our profound dismay and categorical rejection at what now

01:24seems to be a recurrent issue, namely the biased remarks from your spokesperson when it comes

01:30to addressing questions concerning the escalating situation of the coast of Venezuela, resulting

01:36from a U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean and the perpetration of extrajudicial killings in

01:42international waters.

01:44In his later remarks, yet again, your spokesperson called for the situation to be de-escalated,

01:53a call that was surprisingly made equally to both the United States of America and the Bolivarian

01:59Republic of Venezuela.

02:00This is a grave misrepresentation of the facts and an immoral equivalence between the aggressor

02:08and the victim.

02:09I extensively addressed this very issue during our last bilateral meeting on August 28, 2025.

02:16At that time, you indicated that the comments made by your spokesperson may have been response

02:24to a question that caught him off guard, reason why he had provided a standard diplomatic response.

02:33Since then, two additional episodes of the same nature have been registered.

02:39We cannot but conclude that this is no longer an oversight, but a clearly assumed position by

02:44the Secretariat, in disregard for the concerns that then expressed.

02:50Excellency, it is not the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela the one conducting hostile actions,

02:57provocative and intimidatory maneuvers, and a few miles from the territory of the United

03:02States of America with B-1 bombers flying directly towards U.S. airspace.

03:09It is not the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela the one deploying large numbers of

03:14small fishermen boats, a few miles from the territory of the United States of America.

03:22It is not the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela the one deploying the world's largest aircraft

03:28carrier a few miles from the territory of the United States of America.

03:34It is not the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela the one that has conducted almost 20 air strikes

03:41on small fishermen boats, a few miles from the territory of the United States of America,

03:46in which over 70 civilians have been subjected to extrajudicial killings, which is a technical

03:53term for murder.

03:55It is not the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela the one that poses a threat to the territorial

04:00integrity and political independence of the United States of America or any other sovereign

04:06nation.

04:08The defensive and sovereign decision of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to conduct military exercises

04:14within its own territory in response to explicit and imminent foreign threat, it is a legitimate

04:21right of any states under the Charter of the United Nations.

04:26These actions of self-preservation can in no way be equated with those of an offensive nature

04:33as currently executed by the United States of America.

04:37Excellency, it is evident it is not the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela the one escalating the

04:43situation on the ground in any possible manner.

04:47Hence, the question to both you and your spokesperson would be, why to continue pushing a discourse

04:55that is baseless, that has no connection whatsoever with facts on the ground, and that only serves

05:02to the narrative of a war-mongering regime.

05:06This false parity only ends up endorsing the ongoing U.S. aggression against our nation, as

05:13it strives to fabricate a conflict while, at the same time, questions the precautionary

05:18defence measures taken by our government within our borders in line with our inherent right of

05:25self-defence, pursuant to Article 51 of the UN Charter.

05:31The conduct of your spokesperson attests to a clear pattern in which he ignores the root cause

05:37generating tensions on the ground.

05:40The unlawful and coercive actions of the Government of the United States of America as part of an

05:46exercise aimed at destroying our Republican form of government and imposing a puppet regime.

05:55This conduct amounts to a violation of both the letter and spirit of Article 100 of the

06:01UN Charter, dangerously abandoning the neutrality, impartiality and rigour expected of an international

06:09official.

06:10By refusing to identify the aggressor and instead issuing vague symmetrical calls for de-escalation,

06:18your spokesperson is failing in his duty to uphold the principles enshrined in the Charter

06:23of the United Nations, particularly the one referring to the prohibition on the threat

06:29of use of force against the territorial integrity and political independence of any State as contained

06:35in Article 2.4.

06:38Considering the foregoing and while respectfully reiterating the arguments shared in our previous

06:44letters, I demand that your office take immediate and public action to 1. set the record straight

06:52by unambiguously identifying the source of the escalation and condemning the provocative

06:58U.S. military deployment in the Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela.

07:032.

07:04Call upon the Government of the United States of America to immediately withdraw its military

07:09assets from the region, to seize its threats of force and its judicial killing policies against

07:15the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and to pursue diplomacy and cooperation as the only

07:22viable means to redress any issue of contention.

07:263.

07:27The last one.

07:283.

07:29Ensure that future statements from the spokesperson office are impartial, grounded in international

07:35law, and do not equate the victim of aggression with the aggressor.

07:40I thank you for your attention to this important issue

07:44that goes to the core of preserving the very integrity,

07:48neutrality and independence of the United Nations

07:51as an international organization.

07:54That's a lot.
