In a powerful address to the United Nations Security Council, Uganda’s representative delivered a stern condemnation on behalf of the 121-member Non-Aligned Movement against United States military operations in Venezuela. The emergency session, convened on Monday in New York, witnessed a forceful denunciation of what was characterized as unlawful aggression against the South American nation.
The statement, presented by the Ugandan delegation speaking for the movement’s Coordinating Bureau, explicitly condemned armed attacks initiated by the United States against both civilian and military targets in Caracas and multiple Venezuelan cities beginning January 3, 2026. The representative emphasized that these actions represented a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and established international law principles.
The address framed the military intervention as an act of war that fundamentally undermines regional and global stability while directly threatening the right to life of the Venezuelan population. The movement’s position maintained that military solutions cannot serve as legitimate mechanisms for resolving disputes among members of the international community.
Expressing full solidarity with the Venezuelan government and its citizens, the Non-Aligned Movement reinforced its foundational commitment to national sovereignty and territorial integrity—core principles that unite its diverse membership. The intervention highlighted growing concerns among developing nations about the erosion of international legal frameworks governing interstate relations and the use of force.
