Ramaphosa Condemns US Action in Venezuela, Demands Release of Maduro, and His Wife
- Last year, the Communist Party of Canada condemned the US military attack that bombed Caracas, kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro, violated the UN Charter, lacked Security Council authorization, and was not lawful self-defence under Article 51.
- Framed by critics, the assault used claims of human-rights abuses and narcotics trafficking as cynical pretexts to justify regime change and seizure of Venezuelan resources, while Anita Anand reiterated Canada's non-recognition posture.
- International law leaves no room for regime-change abductions, as human-rights law forbids unilateral military seizures and the ban on force is central to international law.
- The Communist Party of Canada pledged to mobilize labour and peace movements and called on Canada to condemn the U.S. attack and end sanctions on Venezuela, warning of the risk of wider, potentially nuclear, war.
- Calls have emerged to relocate the United Nations away from its Washington host state, as observers say the UN increasingly fails to constrain violations, prompting debate on an alternative global structure beyond one capital, one veto or one currency.
