US to UN: It was a police operation, we arrested a drug trafficker, we are not
US Ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz

As Venezuela's ousted president, Nicolas Maduro, pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking and other charges in his first appearance in a New York court, an emergency session of the Security Council began at the UN to discuss the situation in Venezuela.

Former British national security adviser Sir Mark Lyall Grant said that the UK and European countries are in a “very difficult position.” According to him, the US actions are “most likely not” in line with international law.

He added that France and Britain would avoid debate over the legality of the operation and focus on next steps for Venezuela.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed deep concern about the lack of respect for international law regarding US actions in Venezuela.

At the emergency session of the Security Council, Deputy Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo read a statement on behalf of Guterres, highlighting concern about the possibility of increased instability in the country and the potential impact on the region.

The UN Secretary-General also warned of the precedents these actions could set for international relations and the way states interact with each other. He called for respect for international rules and for peaceful resolution of crises to avoid wider destabilization.

But the US ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, declared to the Security Council that the US had arrested a drug trafficker and was not invading Venezuela.

"We are not invading Venezuela, it was a police operation. In accordance with legitimate charges in force for decades, the United States has arrested a drug trafficker who will now be tried in the United States, in respect of the rule of law, for crimes committed against our people over the past 15 years ," US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz told the Security Council.

"Maduro has been indicted by a jury and must face very serious criminal charges. The overwhelming evidence of his crimes will be presented openly ," he added.

“As Secretary Rubio has stated, there is no war against Venezuela or its people. We are not invading a country. This has been a police operation in pursuit of legitimate charges that have existed for decades ,” said the United States’ permanent representative to the UN, Mike Waltz, during his remarks at the Security Council meeting on Venezuela.

"The United States has arrested a drug trafficker who will now be tried in the United States, in accordance with the rule of law, for crimes committed against our people for 15 years. A similar action was taken in 1989 against Manuel Noriega. He was arrested, charged, convicted in court and served a prison sentence in the United States and Panama," Waltz explained.
