The Government of Mexico condemns and strongly rejects the military actions unilaterally carried out in recent hours by the armed forces of the United States of America against targets in the territory of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in clear violation of Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations (UN).
Based on its foreign policy principles and its commitment to peace, Mexico urgently calls for respect for international law, as well as the principles and purposes of the UN Charter, and for an end to any act of aggression against the Venezuelan government and people.
Latin America and the Caribbean is a zone of peace, built on the foundation of mutual respect, the peaceful settlement of disputes, and the prohibition of the use and threat of force. Therefore, any military action seriously jeopardizes regional stability.
Mexico emphatically reiterates that dialogue and negotiation are the only legitimate and effective means of resolving existing differences, and therefore reaffirms its willingness to support any facilitation, mediation, or support efforts that contribute to preserving regional peace and preventing a confrontation.
It also urges the United Nations to act immediately to contribute to de-escalating tensions, facilitate dialogue, and create conditions that allow for a peaceful, sustainable solution in accordance with international law.
