Venezuela mobilizes in support of Maduro’s proposed World Summit

In support of President Nicolas Maduro's proposal to hold a World Summit for Peace and Against War, Venezuelans will take to the streets of Caracas and other regions of the country, including Guanare, Portuguesa state; Yaracuy, in Sucre; Barquisimeto in Lara, and Barinas.
 
Last Monday, Maduro proposed holding a world summit in West Asia to urgently address the nuclear threat looming over humanity and the search for peace.

In a letter sent to heads of state and government around the world, in the presence of ambassadors accredited in Caracas, Executive Vice President Delcy Rodriguez read the document in which Maduro called for peace, a cessation of hostilities against Iran, and the restoration of international law.

The message warned that humanity has entered a phase of “maximum tension and violence,” with the intensification of Israel’s attacks on Iran, which was aggravated by the United States’ military aggression against peaceful nuclear facilities in Iran.

It stated that this action threatens to unleash “a crisis with catastrophic nuclear consequences” for that region and the world, compounded by Israel’s persistent refusal to dismantle its undeclared nuclear arsenal and its refusal to comply with “the IAEA inspection regime.”

The Bolivarian leader affirmed that this “sustained impunity represents a serious risk to collective security” by undermining the principles of the multilateral system.

Hence the urgent call for organizations in the Global South and other regional bodies such as the Non-Aligned Movement, the League of Arab States, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Gulf Cooperation Council, the African Union, the BRICS, and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States.

In the Venezuelan dignitary’s view, this call for a cessation of hostilities “should constitute the first step toward a comprehensive political solution, built on dialogue, legality, and sovereign respect among states.”
