3
4Russian Federation
5>Cannot support attempts of US colleagues to discuss VZLA. Issues formulated in this way is gross abuse of prerogatives of members of SEC council. Internal situation of this country is not a item of our agenda. We don't see external threats from VZLA. VZLA does not represent a threat to peace and security
6>If anything does represent a threat to peace, is actions of US and its allies. Breaches of intl law and attempt by Washingtont to engieneer a coup. The council is supposed to consider this a threat to Vzla.

This is the norm in Maduro's venezuela, thanks to a socialist experiment that caused economy to collapse.You can read about stories like Carlos everyday. We are here for people like him, who are rooting through dumpsters, we are here bc of vzlan women who have turned to prostitution, We are here bc of Maria Vilena, who said through tears, we have a govt dedicated to destroying... blablabla.
39>proceeds with telling sob stories
40>US is helping to recover a brighter future for pple of VZLA, as they try to free themsleves from Maduros mafia state. Humanitarian situation demands action now, and today.

41>Time is now to support. Recognize legitimate govt ofGuaido, and end this nightmare. no excuses. Now it's time for every nation to pick a side. Forces of freedom or with Maduro. China, Russia, refused to let this move forward. No surprise that these countries are against this. China and Russia are propig a failed regime in hopes of recovering millions of dollars. This money they will never get back bc it lined pockets of regime. But Cuba is the biggest ebil in this story. Cuban intelligence thugs have sustained this regime.

88>situation of VZLA is internal matter. We advice Sec Council to be cautious and to keep in mind experiences in ME to avoid spillover.
89>intl community should not pour fuel in fire. rather should act as firefighters
90>domestic dialogue: in recent exp in ME, Africa, Lybia, we are seeing spiraling out of control generated by external forces. Resolution of 2011, based on right to protect. Compile figures of sufffereing not only in Libya, but also central africa, as a consequence of foreign intervention, which focused only on regime change without concern of what will happen afterwards.
91>respect the rule of law: in Vzla, all constitutional laws support the equation. Which is why intl community should also support it based on rule of law.
92>Change of govt, as some are trying, would create dangerous precedent with dangerous consequences for many countries.
93>resolve through dialogue plis
94
95France
96>Tragic situation for 3years now. Unprededented crisis, a people deprived, bloody crackdowns, exodus of 3million people
97>situation is chaotic and represents a threat to regional stability
98>2 priorities. 1st, respect will of people. France hails courage of protestors that took over streets. As Macron said, Democracy must be restored in VZLA. Maduro must imediately announce presential elections, which would be free and fair and transparent.
99>France & EU want peaceful solution to crisis. Maduro must understand this is his last opportunity and he must take it. If elections are not announced in next 8 days, we will recognize Guaido.
100>France calls to respect rights of Natl Assembly, the only genuinely democratic body in Vzla. Refrain from repression against that body and people of vzla at large.
101>plis no threat or reprisals to peaceful protestors
102>2nd priority is putting end to humanitarian crisis bc state can1t provide medical care etc. Columbia Ecuador and Brazil are to be hailed. We are all working to mitigate suffereing, but given deteoration, France urges VZLA to allow NGOs in to help.

112>We regret the unethical ploys the US engages in in our Security Council
113>Here are our views. Let us be honest, topic of todays meeting is not at all situation of VZLA, as organizers are presenting.
114>Today we are examning case of what is called threat to peace and security created by use of force.
115>Interference by US in affairs of other nations is nothing new. LATAM is treated as their backyard, this is the reencarnation of the Monroe Doctrine, about which Trump spoke about in UNGA. Back in 1913, Wilson said he would teach latam people to elect good people. Warden of western hemisphere is not happy....
116>On eve of UN, one of founders of UN said "the alta accords are to spell end of unililateral actions that have tried for centures" (woodrow wilson)
117>Regime change is favorite geopolitical game of US
118>It is no secret of washington attempt in nicaragua, confirmed by Hague (iran-contra affair). Cubans rememeber Bay of Pigs. Chlieans will never forget overthrow of Allende.
119>Another chapter of US attempt to enforce its will...
120>Europe, Asia, etc have a bit to add to this list.
121>20 may 2018, vzlan people gave 68% of votes to Maduro. Washington did everything possible to cast shadow on vote blablabla
122>Using pretext of boycott in part of opposition, US started planing and schemeing, prominent members of cngress participated in.
123>Attempt to overthrow govt was unsuccessful, so went to OAS and neighbors of VZL, altho it was not possible to adopt permanent resolution in OAS, which is quite indicative.
124>US has chosen a scenario of maximun confrantion by backing/abetting Guaido and the craetion of a parallel govt which now threatens serious destabilization of the country
125>Bolshevik Bolton wants to expropriate all territory of VZLA in US.
126>70% of people in VZLA do not support Guiado
127>UK talked about stuff balloting, there are no ballot boxes in VZLA, fyi. It uses and electronic system of voting.
128>UN condemns interference in affairs of independent states. US leaders are making sugestions that they might want to use force. Using presend of Pompeo, we want to ask you directly DOES THAT MEAN YOU WANT TO USE FORCE bc it is here in this room we need to know if you will violate UN charter.
129>Pompeo states that only China, Russia, Cupa, Iran are supporting Maduro. If he found the time to stay in this room any longer he would hear how many states condemn policiy of interference and regime change. These countries are here to support intl law.
130>Chapter 2.4. We consider this behaviour unnaceptable and defies manners of intl behaviour.
131>LATAM partners: do you understand that in casse you continue with your actions, any other LATAm country can be in same place? OAS rubberstamps Washington threats.
132>Simple steps need to be taken. All external interference must be stopped End propping up leaders of oppostion. Efforts should be made to launch inter-vzla dialogue blablabla
133>Ball is now on court of US, but we are not sure their statement is careful of sovereignty of venezuela.
134>Lower the rhetoric plis.
135>We are ready to contribute to dialogue.
136
137Germany
138>Dear russian counterpart, this was put in agenda by South American countries, not just US. You heard from ambassador of Kuwait that preventive diplomacy is something important. Collegaue from Peru and France said same thing, there is a threat for potential of peace and security. In your statement i did not hear anything about LATAM countries that are suffering right now.
139>We commend those countries that have received the immigrants due to catastrophe in VZLA
140>Severe violation of humanitarian law provoked this crisis of refugees where women and children are most affected
141>Russian colleague mentioned Roosevel, let me talk about Eleanor Roosevelt, which inspired universal human rights. A box of pills cost more than rent. Protesting such a situation will land you in jail.
142>protest in last few days are bery grave,deep goncern
143>bc of massive violations of HR, this session is important. stakeholders should respect constitution. national assembly is only constitutional blabla that is valid. Maduro has not been freely elected, quotes OAS "we do not recognize Maduro". OAS called it an infamous day for democracy in americas. There can be no democracy with no elections. But maduro showed that democracy can happen without elections."
144>Only 1 credibel and letitimate instituiton, National Assembly. We support pres of parliament, Guaido, and his call for new elections.
145>8 days.
146
147Poland
148>Supports US request for todays briefeing bc refugee crisis has undeniable impact on situation in neighboring countries. This poses a threat to stability of region. Poland alighns itslef to EU on this matter. National Assembly is only legitimate power.

158>We against adding stiuation of VZLA to security council. THeir affairs are their own.
159>Respect their choice plis
160>US delegate just now made unreasonable acusationa against position of China. We oppose these accusations. china has alwasy been commited to principals of UN charter. Territorial integrity, non-interference. We hope the country that accuses other cand DO LIKEWISE himself.
161
162Indonesia
163>This agenda should be different.
164>Indonesia is consistent in upholding and respecting principle of non-interference, sovereignty. But at same time we are aware of humanitarian situation in vzla is goncerning.
165>High time for council to do dialogue and bridge differences, without contracting principle of UN charter.
166

186
187Dominican Republic
188>Vzla has helped our brothers and sisters very much
189>We are tied to this country in unique way
190>Dominican Republic hosted process of dialogue bw parties in 17 and 18., dialogue did no achieve bc opposition but its interests above national intrests. it also fell bc govt wasnt reassuring, refusing to allow all opposition leaders to take part in election. actions of govt and opppostion led to missed opportunity that we provided.
191>lack of political will of both sides led to this failure.
192>if mininum standards of election are not met, there is no democracy. there are concerns of absence of these standards.
193>we need dialogue plis
194>intl community must support all political stakeholders that will open door to free and fair elections in swift timeframe.

197
198Russian Federation
199>Since delegate of Germany's statement was devoted to a personal dialogue with me, I would like to comment on that.
200>use of preventive diplomacy is excellent. better to prevent a crisis than to resolve it.
201>but your 8 day ultimatum is absurd. some states did not even need the 8 days. you compleltey disregard sovereingty of vzla, imposing what you prefer. and rejecting its peole the right for them to resolve for themselves.
202>you are not calling pple of vzla to find resolution. you are calling to acknowledge the defeat and acknowledgement of oppostion
203> what you are doing is not prevention, its1s INCIITEMENT.
204>should we talk about Gillet Jaunes? Would you consider that PREVENTION? I assure France that we will not pursue this.
205>Respect legitimate authority, not interfere, don't impose solutions from outside (help them resolve their own problems)
206>thank you
207
208Germany
209>Russia avoided talking about the 3million refugees and human rights situation and blablabla.
210
211Venezuela
212>Thank you Pompeo. In case of failure on OAS on 24Jan, they did not have enough weight to impose a resolution, so he came here. Maduro wanted to come here, to debate the blatant and gross mechanisms of interference of the US in our country
213>The US is not behind the coup. US is in the vanguard of the coup. It is dictating the orders, not only to opposition, but to satelite govts in region and other parts of the world.
214>As proofs, we have tweets, appeals to bollivarian army asking them to take position against Maduro and constitutional govt, by Pence and Pompeo, greenlighting a coup in Venezuela.
215>A self-proclaimation, in a rally, like many that have occured in past years.
216>Read our constitution. Where is legality there? This is internal. But what if we look at intl law, charter. Where is this based on. Are we setting aside them, replacing them based on force? Instrumentalizing intl relations for force. Show me your legal basis for this, for an individual that wasn't elected by anyone.
217>Rex Tillerson and Trump himself here, in UNGA, announced sanctions, but also had the nerve to announce a number of measures against VZLA, in fragrat violation of blabalabla multilateralism.
218>How is it possible that a pres uses threat of military force, how is it that this is not challenged?
219>From 1912, occupation of Nicarugua, Honduras,Panama, Dominican Republic, School of Americas, Guatemala, etc, 1954, Cuba, etc etc etc. 2004, Haiti, Honduras...
220>how many died in all these interventions? it should be US that should be subjected to a permanent examiniation due to its disrespect for intl law.
221>In 2002 they were behind the coup. Now they are in the vanguard.
222>Clinton gave permission to take out pres of Honduras. Meanwhile other prez were elected without even being candidates.
223>on 24Jan they were expecting a coup. they thought the military would back the oppostion. It was in vain, once again. an erroneous move, once again.
224>You guys are so obvious. So shameful. Sec Council should vonvene a meetibg to investigate this.
225>WSJ, NYT, AP all reportd on meetings with generals. It wasn't VZLA intelligence that discovered this. It was your own press.
226>Thank you states of the caribean that have stood in this.
227>it is understood that LATAM regional countries fall into US step, but in Europe? Europe is gving us 8 days? Where do you GET THIS POWER? It's almost CHILDLIKE.
228>Why isn't Macron dedicating his efforts to yellow jackets and instead dedicates his time to attack vzla? As soon as a yellow vest go next to Elysee Palace, they are arrested.
229>Respect our sovereignty. Respcet UN Charter
230>Falcon last year was in eletion. Falcon was with Caprilles. It's incredible the pressue on him to withdraw his candidacy. And he did not withdraw, He told UN that it was necessary to send observers. Why did that not take place? Why did you not send observers. Moghering was asked by Falcon too. Why? Because already paln was for coup was underway.. .3 months before elections. Then all presidents of europe, chile, colombia, months before electdions said they woudl not recognize.
231>Show me. DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE WAS FRAUD. In Vzla we have electronic voting system, not manual.
232>The US wants to build a wall with mexico. But it is building an ideological wall. Statement of Pompeo is in line with McCarthy, Nixon. Bolivar said in 1929 that US appeared destined by fate to impose misery on LATAM. He predicted that and that is what the US has done.
233>Since beginging of these coercitive measures, in 2017, the cost has been 23bi due to blockade and udnermining our resources.
234>20mi were offered by OAS then were taken away. 1.2bi dollars are frozen in Belgium. We can't conduct banking transaction, anything tag goes through NY or London cant take place.
235>There is no such thing as blockade, they said. There have been 19 rounds of sanctions, but no blockade, they said.
236>Rex Tillerson was in Bogoto when were meeting opposition, telling them not to sign.
237>Ask the IMF about these figures. Be more rigourous in discussing this issue.
238>There is a problem with migration. It has to do with blockade and financial restrictions on VZLA. We are trying to restore situation. But Chile Equador, Argentina, how many times have we told them you can send them back. Lenin Moreno to prosecute vzla migrants in Ecuador. And today, wednesday, there were 3 planes, inclding presidential plane to get 300 vzlan immigrants to get the back.
239>there is a war against vzla.
240>2002 blablabla using sharpshooters. who kiled them? blablabal we will tell you the truth on every death blablabal
241>You who sponsored 23Jan coup are trying to sponsor bloodshed. That did not happen. We prevented another tragedy like the one that happened in 2002, 2014, 2016...
242>Guiado is under pressure. US wants to tigger a civil war in VZLA, but that won't happen.
243>US is withdrawing forces from Syria. Are they going to start a war in VZLA? We will not give them that satisfaction
244>Peace will prevail here.
245>This deadline of 8 days. Bolivar in 1818, in 1st argument with US, the US did not recall fight for freedom of our country. They had become independent against Brits by their own means. US declared that they were neutral when other countries fought against Spain for independence, but they helped them.
246>Bolivar said it is the same thing to fight against Spain or whole world.
247>WHoever offends VZLA will have to deal with all venezuelans.
248>There was an attempt to give us a constitutional varnish to this whole operation, that was designed in labs of washington.. *reads article 33(?)*
249>THE NAME OF OUR PRESIDENT IS MADURO.
250>Thank you very much.
251
252USA (POMPEO HAS LEFT, Ellito Abrams is speaking on behalf)
253>The insults that were made by calling many countries sattlelites. Every single country that VZLA crticized was a democracy. It was just a series of insults.
254>Vzla is the only sattelite here. Of Cuba and of Russia.
255>Regime is hiding behind laws and constitution of VZLA, while preventing free elections, etc, etc
256>This is not about foreign intervention.
257>it is not an attempt to impose will on vzla people.
258>this discussion in council is about right of vzla people to direct their own democracy
259
260Russian Federation
261>I wasn't going to speak once again either, but, the US rep response, and I would like to know who he represents, btw. And in Russia, btw, we hav eno sattlelite. VZLA is not a sattlelite of Russia. Cuba isnt either. We dont't even use that terminology in our FP. Perhaps I will surprise you rep of the US, but when we discuss certain issues in sec council, we never tried to force any country to behave AS WE WISH it to behave. We alwways respect the sovereignty of any country. If that policy correspons to ours, we are happy, if not, we respect that anyone can have their own posisiton.
262>But unfortuntaley we know of many episodes that the country that YOU represent, uses sattlelite states to promote its own interests, but also forces them to be in lockstep with you.
263>I woldn't suggest you get into the discussion of sattlelites.
264
265Venezuela
266>In response to US, it is difficult whens spox take the floor. Mr Abrams repreents a transistion that has been tried and indicted, such as Iran-Contra. He is the face of a wellknown path of interfereing in democracy. We see it as the same line..
267>Is there noting else going on in the world? Is it all VZLA. Dear Mr Pompeo, if you are still here, our offer for dialogue stands on the table.
268>The response to our offer of dialogue is blablabla. Despite all this, we are at the table.
269
270Colombia
271>Support for interim president, Juan Guaido and for National Assembly.
272>We are totally independent, acting independently.
273>Dictatorship in VZLA is a threat to peace of region.
274>VZLA = tyranny
275>VZLA is filled with terrorists attacking Colombians
276>3mil people in despaira, took refuge.. blablabla
277>We need global response to address migration crisis. What moves us is desire to ensure that despite doors were slammed shut by dictatorship, Juan Guaido will open them.
278>Ivan Duque said that what destroys VZLA will tank Colombia, and vice versa (if they do good, we do good)
279>plis support this agenda. plis support plis. colombia needs aid to be given to vzla. plis intl community, make sure Guaido is safe.
280
281Nicaragua
282>>Support Maduro
283>>No such threat to regional peace & security
284>Sovereign and constitutional election took place (there were two consecutive elections)
285>Jimmy Carter has described VZLA elections system as the best in the world.
286>No country in LATAM has voted so many times.
287>Request for this very meeting is interference and thusly it is a violation of UN charter and intl law
288>insistence of US to include VZLA is another form of intervention, its clear objective is to imipose change of govt, and to replace via coup the legitimate govt of Maduro. this does not contribute to a political peaceful solutioin.
289>only vzlans can change their govt.
290>Any threat of action of military should be condemned.
291>When they start hostilities in these ties against people of vzla, they are launching an open interventionist policy.
292>We are seeing arrogance and disdain for intl law, by a power that cannot co-exist with intl law. At the moment that power wishes, it disregards intl law. It places unilateral force over intl law.
293
294Cuba
295>LATAM and Carribean are facing persistent threats.
296>US has dusted off monroe doctrine, and is wielding it as weapon of diplomacy
297>They have gone so far as to declare that "all options are on the table"
298>A single spark could set off a huge fire.
299>We reject statements of US today.
300>We regret fact that US is seeking to exploit and use Sec Council in its campaign to oust Maduro
301>Main threat to peace and security is in fact the bullying by US and its allies.
302>We condemn and decry attempt to impose thorugh a coup a govt that will serve as a lackey to US.
303
304St Vincent & Grenadines

307>History of carribean and latam is indelibly carved by military intervetions.
308>plis no coup
309>we lament the calling of this meeting
