WE, THE undersigned, condemn the recent calls for US military intervention against Venezuela, including in the New York Times and from former Colombian president Uribe.
With Donald Trump returning to the presidency — having previously advocated for military intervention in Venezuela with the aim of “regime change,” illegal under international law — these calls must be taken seriously.
The human cost of any such intervention in the region would be catastrophic, as it has been in previous US interventions — for example in El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama, with hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians murdered.
Furthermore, US-led wars to secure “regime change” in recent decades elsewhere — Iraq being a notable example — have led to human and social catastrophe on an unspeakable scale.
We urge all governments and political actors internationally to join us in opposing military intervention against Venezuela.
