Ante el escenario mundial, debemos impulsar con fuerza el Grupo de Países en Defensa de la Carta de la ONU, creado en 2019 ante la agresión a Venezuela.

The Group of Countries in Defense of the UN Charter was formed on February 14, 2019 by a set of member states that share the concern about the need to maintain respect for the principles of the fundamental Charter that governs the behavior of the international community. The coalition seeks to defend respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and the promotion of mechanisms for the peaceful settlement of international disputes and never jeopardize international peace and security, among other purposes.
