Global order changing | ‘Maduro’s capture by U.S. an abduction’: Ex-Indian Permanent Envoy to UN, Dilip Sinha – The Economic Times Video
Dilip Sinha, former representative of India to the UN Permanent Representative in Geneva, says the following about the US attack on the Venezuelan capital: “This is technically not an arrest, but an abduction. The US has no jurisdiction in Venezuela. This is a kidnapping where a head of state is kidnapped and taken to the US… It is a violation of international law… The reason for his decision is to lay claim to Venezuela’s oil reserves. Because there is a lot of narco-terrorism in Latin America, where the US is involved, while Latin America is also involved in it.” and there are no other countries accused of cocaine smuggling… President Maduro had offered to cooperate with the United States and hold talks to solve their problems. So it is very strange that President Trump did this and kidnapped him…” On India’s response, he says: “This is in line with its attitude and reaction to such violations by major powers and other countries… There are other threats and violations as well. India has generally been very reticent about the application of international law by major powers and India has generally been very reticent to take a clear stance on this issue.” that’s the policy… As far as the impact on India is concerned, I don’t think it will have much of an impact because our trade relations with Venezuela are very limited… But the fact that a superpower is violating international law with such impunity needs to be taken very seriously and its impact on the overall situation of the global order, which is terrible, but now we are really looking at the situation because the world has three superpowers today, China, Russia and the USA, they are all acting in an extremely aggressive manner…”
