NEW YORK: The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency session to address the crisis in Venezuela, with member states urging the immediate release of President Nicolás Maduro following his detention during recent U.S. operations.
China condemned the U.S. actions, stating that they have jeopardized peace and stability across Latin America and the Caribbean. Beijing described the move as “acts of bullying” and called for restraint, urging all parties to resolve disputes through dialogue and in accordance with international law.
The emergency meeting highlighted growing international concern over escalating tensions in Venezuela, with calls for diplomatic solutions and the protection of human rights. Council members emphasized that unilateral military actions undermine regional stability and violate the principles of the UN Charter.
The session also stressed the need for inclusive dialogue among Venezuelan stakeholders to ensure the country’s political future is decided by its people, in line with democratic and legal norms.
