UN chief raises concern over disregard for international law after US military action in Venezuela

The head of the UN on Monday reiterated deep concern over disrespect for international law following recent US military action against Venezuela that resulted in the capture of the country's President Nicolas Maduro.

Conveying UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres' message to an emergency session on Venezuela, Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo said: "I have consistently stressed the imperative of full respect, by all, for international law, including the Charter of the United Nations, which provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace and security."
