The US is hell-bent on dismantling the International Criminal Court as part of its assault on global legal systems, but others also have valid reasons to seek its demise. BEN CHACKO provides the analysis
THANK you for attending this important event today against Donald Trump’s aggressive agenda in Latin America.
I’m here to make two key points. Firstly, whatever views people hold on Venezuela, there is no justification for backing US-led regime change, which, if successful, could go the way of the disastrous interventions in the Middle East. It is for Venezuelans alone to solve their difficulties.
Secondly, we shouldn’t repeat in Venezuela what happened in Iraq, when an out-of-control US president caused devastation and the widespread loss of life in pursuit of oil.
Sovereignty and the rule of law are under threat from Trump’s attacks on Lula’s administration just as they have been across Latin America, argue CARLOS MARTINEZ and SARA VIVACQUA
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
The global left must be unwavering in it is support for Venezuela as Washington increases its aggression, and clear-eyed about the West’s cynical motives for targeting it, says CLAUDIA WEBBE
