00:05of state, governments and the peoples of the world to condemn the United States' attack
00:10on Venezuela. They assert that the United States is a threat to world peace. It is the
00:15technical opinion of the organization's specialist in international law and human rights. They
00:21assert that the attack that caused the death of 100 people, as revealed by the Venezuelan
00:26government, represents a serious manifest and deliberate violation of the most fundamental
00:32principles of international law and sets a dangerous precedent and risks destabilizing
00:38the region and the world. They also warrant those who participated in this action that
00:42it could constitute an international crime of aggression attributable to the political leaders
00:49and military personnel involved.

01:04and deliberate violation of the most fundamental principles of international law, set a dangerous
01:10precedent and risk destabilizing the entire region and the world. United Nations experts
01:15also express Venezuela's vast natural resources, including the largest proven oil reserves in the world,
01:23must not be cynically exploited through thinly veiled pretext to legitimize military aggression,
01:29foreign occupation or regime change strategies. The statement emphasized, the future of Venezuela must be
01:36determined by the Venezuelan people alone, in full sovereignty through dialogue and accountability,
01:42ensuring the meaningful and equal participation of women in all decision-making processes.
