VENEZUELA is taking Colombian President Ivan Duque to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the “extermination and persecution of migrants,” it was confirmed on Wednesday.
Venezuelan Vice-President Delcy Rodiriguez announced that the Bolivarian government was lodging a case at the court regarding the killing of a 12-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man in Colombia’s Tibu municipality last week.
They were taken away by armed men on motorcycles after being caught shoplifting last Friday, and were later found dead by the side of the road.
Concessions to Washington by the post-Maduro leadership in Caracas are designed to preserve the core of the Bolivarian Revolution not betray it, argue Roger D Harris, Francisco Dominguez and Mara Paez Victor. How the solidarity movement responds is critical

International solidarity can ensure that Trump and his machine cannot prevail without a level of political and economic cost that he will not want to pay, argues CLAUDIA WEBBE
Colombia’s success in controlling the drug trade should be recognised and its sovereignty respected, argues Dr GLORY SAAVEDRA
