The US invasion of Venezuela and the seizure of the president are contrary to international law, and could have serious consequences for global security, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said, APA reports.
"The military operation that led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro contradicts the principle of non-use of force, which underlies international law. France reminds that no sustainable political solution can be imposed from the outside and that sovereign nations determine their own future," he said on Telegram.
Barro criticized Venezuelan president’s policies, but said that Paris stands for respect for the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people, "whose voice should prevail."
Barrot said the United States as a permanent member of the UN Security Council was awarded with special responsibility and violating the principle of non-use of force by permanent members of this body "will have grave consequences for the global security that no one can avoid."
He said Paris was committed to the UN Charter and called on all states to follow it.
