00:00The assault against the leader of Venezuela, compounded by the deaths of dozens of Venezuelan
00:07and Cuban citizens, in the eyes of many, has become a harbinger of a turn back to the era
00:15of lawlessness and U.S. domination by force, chaos, and lawlessness, which continues to
00:23afflict dozens of states in various regions of the world.
00:31There is no and can be no justification for the crimes cynically perpetrated by the United
00:35States in Caracas.
00:37We firmly condemn the U.S. act of armed aggression against Venezuela in breach of all international
00:44legal norms.
00:46In connection with the confirmed reports about the presence of the abducted President of
00:50Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, and his spouse in the United States, today as we are aware
00:56they are in New York, we propose, we call upon, corrects the speaker, the U.S. leadership
01:03to immediately release the legitimately elected president of an independent state and his
01:09spouse.
01:12Any problems existing or conflict between the United States and Venezuela need to be resolved
01:20through dialogue.
01:21And this is precisely what is enshrined in the U.N. Charter, the purposes and the principles
01:26of which a number of states in recent years have begun to apply selectively, depending upon
01:32the political landscape.
