………..

The United Nations has voiced deep concern over the recent military escalation in Venezuela, warning of serious consequences for both domestic stability and regional security. UN Secretary-General António Guterres described the latest developments as alarming, particularly the US military action carried out on Saturday, which he said could mark a dangerous turning point and heighten tensions in an already fragile situation.

In a statement, the Secretary-General’s spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, said the events set a troubling precedent and renewed calls for all parties to abide by international law and the UN Charter. Guterres urged Venezuelan stakeholders to pursue inclusive and constructive dialogue grounded in respect for human rights and the rule of law, cautioning that further escalation could worsen the country’s humanitarian and political crises and affect the wider region.
