The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, reported this Monday during his 25th program of "Con Maduro +" that he sent a letter to the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, to demand "the rectification of the errors committed that affect the sovereignty of Venezuela" in the case of Essequibo.
In this regard, the Dignatarito explained that the evidence of the errors committed was attached, requesting that the General Secretariat "act as a deactivator of the escalation that Guyana has against Venezuela, that ExxonMobil has against Venezuela."
In context, the spokesperson for the UN Secretary General, Stéphane Dujarric, assured in a statement that “the highest authority of that international body trusts in the good faith of Guyana and Venezuela to resolve the controversy over the Essequibo.”
Meanwhile, the Head of State has confirmed that Venezuela does not recognize the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as a body to resolve this controversy, while insisting that Guterres "can do a lot, he can help a process of resuming the Geneva Agreement, to a direct dialogue process,” he concluded.
On Friday, November 10, the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela spoke out to reject the statements attributed to the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, about the border conflict between Venezuela and Guyana.
Venezuela reminds the Secretary General and the International Community that on February 25, 2018 warned of the need to respect the 1966 Geneva Agreement, reiterating the letter sent to his predecessor Ban-Ki Moon on December 15, 2016.
He points out that despite this, the case was referred to the International Court of Justice, without the will of one of the parties, which “marked a turning point in the behavior of Guyana, which has abandoned the diplomatic channel of direct dialogue ”.
It warns that the actions of Guyana, associated with the United States Southern Command, are becoming “the greatest threat to the peace and stability of the Caribbean.
