Xinhua Agency, Geneva, October 21st. Several United Nations experts condemned the United States for its actions and threatening remarks against the Venezuelan government on the 21st, accusing the United States of violating Venezuela's sovereignty and violating the United Nations Charter.

On the 21st, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights published the statements of United Nations experts such as George Catrugalos, an independent expert on the international order of the United Nations, on its website. They said that these actions of the United States are extremely dangerous and seriously affect peace and security in the Caribbean region.

UN experts say that the use of lethal force in international waters without a proper legal basis is equivalent to extrajudicial executions and that preparation to take a secret or direct military action against another sovereign state is a more serious violation of the UN Charter.

"The long history of external intervention in Latin America must not be repeated." The experts said, "The international community must stand firm in its defense of the rule of law, dialogue and peaceful settlement of disputes." They urged the United States to stop illegal attacks and threats and respect international law.

Recently, the United States deployed several warships in the Caribbean waters on the grounds of "combating drug trafficking". Since September, the Trump administration has claimed to have sunk seven so-called "drug ships" in international waters off Venezuela. According to recent reports from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Venezuela is not the main source of drugs flowing into the United States.

Venezuela has repeatedly accused the United States of intending to engage in regime change in Venezuela through military threats and military expansion in Latin America. Historically, the CIA has planned, launched or participated in coups in Latin America many times.
