A PUBLIC AFFAIRS ANALYST, HON. JOHN NWOBODO, HAS STRONGLY CRITICIZED THE ALLEGED INVASION OF VENEZUELA BY THE UNITED STATES, DESCRIBING IT AS A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND A THREAT TO GLOBAL ORDER. HE MADE THIS ASSERTION WHILE SPEAKING AS A GUEST ON ETV’S CURRENT AFFAIRS PROGRAMME SPOTLIGHT, WHERE HE DISCUSSED THE TOPIC “US INVASION OF VENEZUELA: IMPACT ON WORLD ORDER & CONFLICT RESOLUTION EFFORTS.” NWOBODO STATED THAT NO JUSTIFICATION COULD BE ACCEPTABLE FOR THE INVASION OF A SOVEREIGN NATION, STRESSING THAT SUCH AN ACTION RUNS CONTRARY TO ESTABLISHED PRINCIPLES OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. HE EMPHASIZED THAT IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ONE COUNTRY TO INVADE ANOTHER SOVEREIGN STATE, NOTING THAT SUCH CONDUCT IS INCONSISTENT WITH GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED NORMS GOVERNING RELATIONS AMONG NATIONS. HE FURTHER ARGUED THAT THE UNITED STATES HAD OVERSTEPPED ITS BOUNDS BY ARRESTING THE PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA, AN ACTION HE SAID UNDERMINES STATE SOVEREIGNTY AND SETS A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT THAT COULD WEAKEN DIPLOMATIC AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION MECHANISMS WORLDWIDE.
NWOBODO CALLED ON THE UNITED NATIONS TO LIVE UP TO ITS RESPONSIBILITIES IN MAINTAINING INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND ORDER.
