UNSC Venezuela epic bantz 1-26-2019

Dominican Republic (secretary General)
>Previously at OAS they said "all parties should not escalate into violence

Russian Federation
>Cannot support attempts of US colleagues to discuss VZLA. Issues formulated in this way is gross abuse of prerogatives of members of SEC council. Internal situation of this country is not a item of our agenda. We don't see external threats from VZLA. VZLA does not represent a threat to peace and security
>If anything does represent a threat to peace, is actions of US and its allies. Breaches of intl law and attempt by Washingtont to engieneer a coup. The council is supposed to consider this a threat to Vzla.

Pompeo (US)
>Maduro is oppressive, millions of vzlans flee. this has overwhelmed capacitdy of regional countries. Former pres Maduro bears responsibility for this tragedy. On Jan10, OAS passed res that refused to recognize Maduro.
>Destabilizin crisis... We have yet to hold a formal session on this subject.
>Now we have new leader, who has promised elections and security to the region.
>For sake of Vzla and region, we must support this process.

>efforts to bring govt and oppostion to negotiating table has failed.
>we need open democratic process to solve problems
>when opposition won main seats in assembly, supreme court ruled against it. then national constituent asembly was formed, but it is not recognized by opposition parties.
>Dominican Rep, Panama & Spain tried to mediate. No concrete agreement achieved. Talks began and fell through, etc. One of main areas of disagreement was electoral calendar. Govt went ahead with elections. Maduro was winner. Most opposition did not participate.

US
>On behalf of Trump, thank you blablabla
>shoutout to Haley
>This meeting is overdue. Take Carlos Aquino, weeping over tiny coffin of his son who died of starvation. This is the norm in Maduro's venezuela, thanks to a socialist experiment that caused economy to collapse.You can read about stories like Carlos everyday. We are here for people like him, who are rooting through dumpsters, we are here bc of vzlan women who have turned to prostitution, We are here bc of Maria Vilena, who said through tears, we have a govt dedicated to destroying... blablabla.
>proceeds with telling sob stories
>US is helping to recover a brighter future for pple of VZLA, as they try to free themsleves from Maduros mafia state. Humanitarian situation demands action now, and today. Millions don't have access to water, hospitals, blablabla, political prisoners and graveyards filled with dissidents (more sob stories about some farmer that came to speak with US and was killed by Maduro when he went home)
>Time is now to support. Recognize legitimate govt ofGuaido, and end this nightmare. no excuses. Now it's time for every nation to pick a side. Forces of freedom or with Maduro. China, Russia, refused to let this move forward. No surprise that these countries are against this. China and Russia are propig a failed regime in hopes of recovering millions of dollars. This money they will never get back bc it lined pockets of regime. But Cuba is the biggest ebil in this story. Cuban intelligence thugs have sustained this regime.
>Members of this body are mad about intereference in foregin affairs. Cuba has made matters worse and yet speaks against interferece
>We call for Vzlans to work now, together blablabla

UK
>Total economic collapse, comprehensive picture of degradation and misery from which only vzla elite are able to escape. blablabla very eloquent, wretchedly so old chap

>MADURO MUST GO
>Guaido very courageous. We applaudi him.
>efforts must be made to find a way out of this crisis. we stand with EU in demanding free and fair elections, legitimate govt, blabla
>8,000 political excecutdions, 13,000 political detainees

>Elections took place like in any other country. On this basis, our president congraluted Maduro as president.
>Respect the rule of law.
>Deeply goncerned to circumvent the countries legal mechanisms. Any grievances should be resolved in peaceful manner within venezuelan constitution, without external influence. This is standard practice everywhere, and in all democracies.
>We echo statement of SGUN where he urged a deescalation of tension to prevent further violence. We support SGUN call to urgent need for relevant actors to commit to inclusive credible political dialogue to address this protracted crisis with full respect to rule of law.

Equatorial Guinea
>deep goncern about everyding
>plis no violence
>arm yourself with wisdom plis
>situation of VZLA is internal matter. We advice Sec Council to be cautious and to keep in mind experiences in ME to avoid spillover.
>intl community should not pour fuel in fire. rather should act as firefighters
>domestic dialogue: in recent exp in ME, Africa, Lybia, we are seeing spiraling out of control generated by external forces. Resolution of 2011, based on right to protect. Compile figures of sufffereing not only in Libya, but also central africa, as a consequence of foreign intervention, which focused only on regime change without concern of what will happen afterwards.
>respect the rule of law: in Vzla, all constitutional laws support the equation. Which is why intl community should also support it based on rule of law.
>Change of govt, as some are trying, would create dangerous precedent with dangerous consequences for many countries.
>resolve through dialogue plis

France
>Tragic situation for 3years now. Unprededented crisis, a people deprived, bloody crackdowns, exodus of 3million people
>situation is chaotic and represents a threat to regional stability
>2 priorities. 1st, respect will of people. France hails courage of protestors that took over streets. As Macron said, Democracy must be restored in VZLA. Maduro must imediately announce presential elections, which would be free and fair and transparent.
>France & EU want peaceful solution to crisis. Maduro must understand this is his last opportunity and he must take it. If elections are not announced in next 8 days, we will recognize Guaido.
>France calls to respect rights of Natl Assembly, the only genuinely democratic body in Vzla. Refrain from repression against that body and people of vzla at large.
>plis no threat or reprisals to peaceful protestors
>2nd priority is putting end to humanitarian crisis bc state can1t provide medical care etc. Columbia Ecuador and Brazil are to be hailed. We are all working to mitigate suffereing, but given deteoration, France urges VZLA to allow NGOs in to help.
>France is a staunch propoenent of blablabla liberty

Kuwait
>Security Council may investigate any dispute or situation that may lead to further dispute that might lead to endanger regional peace and security.
>Preventivie diplomacy, peaceful resolutions plis.

Russian Federation
>We have no doubt that todays meeting has been called by US delegation with the purtpose of contintuing to destabilise situation.
>Meeting which we are being forced to be present is another strategy to do regime change.
>We regret the unethical ploys the US engages in in our Security Council
>Here are our views. Let us be honest, topic of todays meeting is not at all situation of VZLA, as organizers are presenting.
>Today we are examning case of what is called threat to peace and security created by use of force.
>Interference by US in affairs of other nations is nothing new. LATAM is treated as their backyard, this is the reencarnation of the Monroe Doctrine, about which Trump spoke about in UNGA. Back in 1913, Wilson said he would teach latam people to elect good people. Warden of western hemisphere is not happy....
>On eve of UN, one of founders of UN said "the alta accords are to spell end of unililateral actions that have tried for centures" (woodrow wilson)
>Regime change is favorite geopolitical game of US
>It is no secret of washington attempt in nicaragua, confirmed by Hague (iran-contra affair). Cubans rememeber Bay of Pigs. Chlieans will never forget overthrow of Allende.
>Another chapter of US attempt to enforce its will...
>Europe, Asia, etc have a bit to add to this list.
>20 may 2018, vzlan people gave 68% of votes to Maduro. Washington did everything possible to cast shadow on vote blablabla
>Using pretext of boycott in part of opposition, US started planing and schemeing, prominent members of cngress participated in.
>Attempt to overthrow govt was unsuccessful, so went to OAS and neighbors of VZL, altho it was not possible to adopt permanent resolution in OAS, which is quite indicative.
>US has chosen a scenario of maximun confrantion by backing/abetting Guaido and the craetion of a parallel govt which now threatens serious destabilization of the country
>Bolshevik Bolton wants to expropriate all territory of VZLA in US.
>70% of people in VZLA do not support Guiado
>UK talked about stuff balloting, there are no ballot boxes in VZLA, fyi. It uses and electronic system of voting.
>UN condemns interference in affairs of independent states. US leaders are making sugestions that they might want to use force. Using presend of Pompeo, we want to ask you directly DOES THAT MEAN YOU WANT TO USE FORCE bc it is here in this room we need to know if you will violate UN charter.
>Pompeo states that only China, Russia, Cupa, Iran are supporting Maduro. If he found the time to stay in this room any longer he would hear how many states condemn policiy of interference and regime change. These countries are here to support intl law.
>Chapter 2.4. We consider this behaviour unnaceptable and defies manners of intl behaviour.
>LATAM partners: do you understand that in casse you continue with your actions, any other LATAm country can be in same place? OAS rubberstamps Washington threats.
>Simple steps need to be taken. All external interference must be stopped End propping up leaders of oppostion. Efforts should be made to launch inter-vzla dialogue blablabla
>Ball is now on court of US, but we are not sure their statement is careful of sovereignty of venezuela.
>Lower the rhetoric plis.
>We are ready to contribute to dialogue.

Germany
>Dear russian counterpart, this was put in agenda by South American countries, not just US. You heard from ambassador of Kuwait that preventive diplomacy is something important. Collegaue from Peru and France said same thing, there is a threat for potential of peace and security. In your statement i did not hear anything about LATAM countries that are suffering right now.
>We commend those countries that have received the immigrants due to catastrophe in VZLA
>Severe violation of humanitarian law provoked this crisis of refugees where women and children are most affected
>Russian colleague mentioned Roosevel, let me talk about Eleanor Roosevelt, which inspired universal human rights. A box of pills cost more than rent. Protesting such a situation will land you in jail.
>protest in last few days are bery grave,deep goncern
>bc of massive violations of HR, this session is important. stakeholders should respect constitution. national assembly is only constitutional blabla that is valid. Maduro has not been freely elected, quotes OAS "we do not recognize Maduro". OAS called it an infamous day for democracy in americas. There can be no democracy with no elections. But maduro showed that democracy can happen without elections."
>Only 1 credibel and letitimate instituiton, National Assembly. We support pres of parliament, Guaido, and his call for new elections.
>8 days.

Poland
>Supports US request for todays briefeing bc refugee crisis has undeniable impact on situation in neighboring countries. This poses a threat to stability of region. Poland alighns itslef to EU on this matter. National Assembly is only legitimate power.
>in absence of fresh elections, Poland will take further actions including recognition of VZLA leaders.
>plis respect democracy and plis refran from violence
>gondemn use of force
>furthermore, plis release all political prisoners.

China
>Everyone keep calm plis
>All countries should abide by norms of intl relations and law, such as non-interference in each others mutual affairs, and refrainiing from use of force
>non-interference plis!
>We against adding stiuation of VZLA to security council. THeir affairs are their own.
>Respect their choice plis
>US delegate just now made unreasonable acusationa against position of China. We oppose these accusations. china has alwasy been commited to principals of UN charter. Territorial integrity, non-interference. We hope the country that accuses other cand DO LIKEWISE himself.

Indonesia
>This agenda should be different.
>Indonesia is consistent in upholding and respecting principle of non-interference, sovereignty. But at same time we are aware of humanitarian situation in vzla is goncerning.
>High time for council to do dialogue and bridge differences, without contracting principle of UN charter.

Belgium
>threat to instability of region is clear bc of refugees
>council has clear responsisbilty bc of threat to reagional security and peace
>plis members pull together for peace
>gratitude to countries of region who took refugees
>situation on ground is unstable, i echo statement of EU. First, call for restraint. 2nd, need to restablish constitutional order. 3rd, importance of listening to vnzlenas. 4rth, human rights plis
>I call on those who have influence to demonstrate restraint. Mass protests in recent days have been met with senseless violence by authorities
>Independent inquire needed for this violence.
>elections were not free or fair or credible, thus stripping Maduro's legitimacy.
>VZLA stands in need that genuinely represents will of people.
>Belgium recognizes Natl Assembly and for their powers to be restored and respected.
>respect Guaido plis
>8 days

Cote d´Ivoire
>deeb goncern
>relevant actors plis show restrain, go with path of dialogue
>plis regional actors, be cool
>preventive diplomacy plis

Dominican Republic
>Vzla has helped our brothers and sisters very much
>We are tied to this country in unique way
>Dominican Republic hosted process of dialogue bw parties in 17 and 18., dialogue did no achieve bc opposition but its interests above national intrests. it also fell bc govt wasnt reassuring, refusing to allow all opposition leaders to take part in election. actions of govt and opppostion led to missed opportunity that we provided.
>lack of political will of both sides led to this failure.
>if mininum standards of election are not met, there is no democracy. there are concerns of absence of these standards.
>we need dialogue plis
>intl community must support all political stakeholders that will open door to free and fair elections in swift timeframe.
>crisis is deep and serious goncern right now
>need for new election to take place

Russian Federation
>Since delegate of Germany's statement was devoted to a personal dialogue with me, I would like to comment on that.
>use of preventive diplomacy is excellent. better to prevent a crisis than to resolve it.
>but your 8 day ultimatum is absurd. some states did not even need the 8 days. you compleltey disregard sovereingty of vzla, imposing what you prefer. and rejecting its peole the right for them to resolve for themselves.
>you are not calling pple of vzla to find resolution. you are calling to acknowledge the defeat and acknowledgement of oppostion
> what you are doing is not prevention, its1s INCIITEMENT.
>should we talk about Gillet Jaunes? Would you consider that PREVENTION? I assure France that we will not pursue this.
>Respect legitimate authority, not interfere, don't impose solutions from outside (help them resolve their own problems)
>thank you

Germany
>Russia avoided talking about the 3million refugees and human rights situation and blablabla.

Venezuela
>Thank you Pompeo. In case of failure on OAS on 24Jan, they did not have enough weight to impose a resolution, so he came here. Maduro wanted to come here, to debate the blatant and gross mechanisms of interference of the US in our country
>The US is not behind the coup. US is in the vanguard of the coup. It is dictating the orders, not only to opposition, but to satelite govts in region and other parts of the world.
>As proofs, we have tweets, appeals to bollivarian army asking them to take position against Maduro and constitutional govt, by Pence and Pompeo, greenlighting a coup in Venezuela.
>A self-proclaimation, in a rally, like many that have occured in past years.
>Read our constitution. Where is legality there? This is internal. But what if we look at intl law, charter. Where is this based on. Are we setting aside them, replacing them based on force? Instrumentalizing intl relations for force. Show me your legal basis for this, for an individual that wasn't elected by anyone.
>Rex Tillerson and Trump himself here, in UNGA, announced sanctions, but also had the nerve to announce a number of measures against VZLA, in fragrat violation of blabalabla multilateralism.
>How is it possible that a pres uses threat of military force, how is it that this is not challenged?
>From 1912, occupation of Nicarugua, Honduras,Panama, Dominican Republic, School of Americas, Guatemala, etc, 1954, Cuba, etc etc etc. 2004, Haiti, Honduras...
>how many died in all these interventions? it should be US that should be subjected to a permanent examiniation due to its disrespect for intl law.
>In 2002 they were behind the coup. Now they are in the vanguard.
>Clinton gave permission to take out pres of Honduras. Meanwhile other prez were elected without even being candidates.
>on 24Jan they were expecting a coup. they thought the military would back the oppostion. It was in vain, once again. an erroneous move, once again.
>You guys are so obvious. So shameful. Sec Council should vonvene a meetibg to investigate this.
>WSJ, NYT, AP all reportd on meetings with generals. It wasn't VZLA intelligence that discovered this. It was your own press.
>Thank you states of the caribean that have stood in this.
>it is understood that LATAM regional countries fall into US step, but in Europe? Europe is gving us 8 days? Where do you GET THIS POWER? It's almost CHILDLIKE.
>Why isn't Macron dedicating his efforts to yellow jackets and instead dedicates his time to attack vzla? As soon as a yellow vest go next to Elysee Palace, they are arrested.
>Respect our sovereignty. Respcet UN Charter
>Falcon last year was in eletion. Falcon was with Caprilles. It's incredible the pressue on him to withdraw his candidacy. And he did not withdraw, He told UN that it was necessary to send observers. Why did that not take place? Why did you not send observers. Moghering was asked by Falcon too. Why? Because already paln was for coup was underway.. .3 months before elections. Then all presidents of europe, chile, colombia, months before electdions said they woudl not recognize.
>Show me. DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE WAS FRAUD. In Vzla we have electronic voting system, not manual.
>The US wants to build a wall with mexico. But it is building an ideological wall. Statement of Pompeo is in line with McCarthy, Nixon. Bolivar said in 1929 that US appeared destined by fate to impose misery on LATAM. He predicted that and that is what the US has done.
>Since beginging of these coercitive measures, in 2017, the cost has been 23bi due to blockade and udnermining our resources.
>20mi were offered by OAS then were taken away. 1.2bi dollars are frozen in Belgium. We can't conduct banking transaction, anything tag goes through NY or London cant take place.
>There is no such thing as blockade, they said. There have been 19 rounds of sanctions, but no blockade, they said.
>Rex Tillerson was in Bogoto when were meeting opposition, telling them not to sign.
>Ask the IMF about these figures. Be more rigourous in discussing this issue.
>There is a problem with migration. It has to do with blockade and financial restrictions on VZLA. We are trying to restore situation. But Chile Equador, Argentina, how many times have we told them you can send them back. Lenin Moreno to prosecute vzla migrants in Ecuador. And today, wednesday, there were 3 planes, inclding presidential plane to get 300 vzlan immigrants to get the back.
>there is a war against vzla.
>2002 blablabla using sharpshooters. who kiled them? blablabal we will tell you the truth on every death blablabal
>You who sponsored 23Jan coup are trying to sponsor bloodshed. That did not happen. We prevented another tragedy like the one that happened in 2002, 2014, 2016...
>Guiado is under pressure. US wants to tigger a civil war in VZLA, but that won't happen.
>US is withdrawing forces from Syria. Are they going to start a war in VZLA? We will not give them that satisfaction
>Peace will prevail here.
>This deadline of 8 days. Bolivar in 1818, in 1st argument with US, the US did not recall fight for freedom of our country. They had become independent against Brits by their own means. US declared that they were neutral when other countries fought against Spain for independence, but they helped them.
>Bolivar said it is the same thing to fight against Spain or whole world.
>WHoever offends VZLA will have to deal with all venezuelans.
>There was an attempt to give us a constitutional varnish to this whole operation, that was designed in labs of washington.. *reads article 33(?)*
>THE NAME OF OUR PRESIDENT IS MADURO.
>Thank you very much.

USA (POMPEO HAS LEFT, Ellito Abrams is speaking on behalf)
>The insults that were made by calling many countries sattlelites. Every single country that VZLA crticized was a democracy. It was just a series of insults.
>Vzla is the only sattelite here. Of Cuba and of Russia.
>Regime is hiding behind laws and constitution of VZLA, while preventing free elections, etc, etc
>This is not about foreign intervention.
>it is not an attempt to impose will on vzla people.
>this discussion in council is about right of vzla people to direct their own democracy

Russian Federation
>I wasn't going to speak once again either, but, the US rep response, and I would like to know who he represents, btw. And in Russia, btw, we hav eno sattlelite. VZLA is not a sattlelite of Russia. Cuba isnt either. We dont't even use that terminology in our FP. Perhaps I will surprise you rep of the US, but when we discuss certain issues in sec council, we never tried to force any country to behave AS WE WISH it to behave. We alwways respect the sovereignty of any country. If that policy correspons to ours, we are happy, if not, we respect that anyone can have their own posisiton.
>But unfortuntaley we know of many episodes that the country that YOU represent, uses sattlelite states to promote its own interests, but also forces them to be in lockstep with you.
>I woldn't suggest you get into the discussion of sattlelites.

Venezuela
>In response to US, it is difficult whens spox take the floor. Mr Abrams repreents a transistion that has been tried and indicted, such as Iran-Contra. He is the face of a wellknown path of interfereing in democracy. We see it as the same line..
>Is there noting else going on in the world? Is it all VZLA. Dear Mr Pompeo, if you are still here, our offer for dialogue stands on the table.
>The response to our offer of dialogue is blablabla. Despite all this, we are at the table.

Colombia
>Support for interim president, Juan Guaido and for National Assembly.
>We are totally independent, acting independently.
>Dictatorship in VZLA is a threat to peace of region.
>VZLA = tyranny
>VZLA is filled with terrorists attacking Colombians
>3mil people in despaira, took refuge.. blablabla
>We need global response to address migration crisis. What moves us is desire to ensure that despite doors were slammed shut by dictatorship, Juan Guaido will open them.
>Ivan Duque said that what destroys VZLA will tank Colombia, and vice versa (if they do good, we do good)
>plis support this agenda. plis support plis. colombia needs aid to be given to vzla. plis intl community, make sure Guaido is safe.

Nicaragua
>>Support Maduro
>>No such threat to regional peace & security
>Sovereign and constitutional election took place (there were two consecutive elections)
>Jimmy Carter has described VZLA elections system as the best in the world.
>No country in LATAM has voted so many times.
>Request for this very meeting is interference and thusly it is a violation of UN charter and intl law
>insistence of US to include VZLA is another form of intervention, its clear objective is to imipose change of govt, and to replace via coup the legitimate govt of Maduro. this does not contribute to a political peaceful solutioin.
>only vzlans can change their govt.
>Any threat of action of military should be condemned.
>When they start hostilities in these ties against people of vzla, they are launching an open interventionist policy.
>We are seeing arrogance and disdain for intl law, by a power that cannot co-exist with intl law. At the moment that power wishes, it disregards intl law. It places unilateral force over intl law.

Cuba
>LATAM and Carribean are facing persistent threats.
>US has dusted off monroe doctrine, and is wielding it as weapon of diplomacy
>They have gone so far as to declare that "all options are on the table"
>A single spark could set off a huge fire.
>We reject statements of US today.
>We regret fact that US is seeking to exploit and use Sec Council in its campaign to oust Maduro
>Main threat to peace and security is in fact the bullying by US and its allies.
>We condemn and decry attempt to impose thorugh a coup a govt that will serve as a lackey to US.
