UNITED NATIONS, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) — Venezuela's Permanent Mission to the United Nations on Saturday sent a letter to the organization's Security Council (SC) President for January, Abukar Dahir Osman, condemning the "brutal, unjustified and unilateral" US military attacks against the South American country.
The letter also puts forward four demands: convene an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss US aggression, strongly condemn the aggression against Venezuela, immediately end US military attacks, and take steps to hold Washington accountable for the “crime of aggression.”
The letter noted that US forces earlier on Saturday bombed civilian and military targets in the capital, Caracas, and in the states of Miranda, Aragua and La Guaira, and also carried out strikes across the country using helicopters and aircraft.
The letter emphasizes that the attack constitutes a flagrant act of aggression that was pre-planned, acknowledged and publicized by Washington, and that it “flagrantly” violates the UN Charter.
The US attack was carried out against a country in a state of complete peace, the document notes. It states that the attack's goal is to overthrow the current Venezuelan regime and install a "puppet government" to plunder the country's oil resources.
