In his Telegram channel, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil pointed out that these transgressions seek to undermine “multilateralism in favor of its unilateralism and an agenda of interference characterized by double standards.”
The high Venezuelan official denounced, as double standards and morals, that this year marks eight decades since the signing of the United Nations Charter on June 26, 1945, and the first Trinity nuclear test, on July 16 of that same year.
Both events, he said, clearly expose “the double standards and morals, and the contradiction of the origin of the world order” established from then on, the Foreign Ministry said in a press release.
He recalled at the ministerial meeting that 20 days after the signing of the UN Charter, the United States carried out the Trinity nuclear test and just 21 days later it dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and three days later did the same on Nagasaki.
Gil reflected that perhaps these events “shed light on the contradictory mode” of the international order after World War II, which prevails to this day.
He stressed that the signing of the document and the attacks on Japanese cities were two events with opposing intentions that shocked the world.
This philosophy led to the “continued dialectic of peace versus war, cooperation versus conflict, construction versus destruction, and humanism versus barbarism,” he stressed.
“The essential element of this irreconcilable circumstance is the intended validation of the double standard in international decisions,” he insisted.
Gil stressed that this action has become “an infectious virus that has not only undermined confidence, but also the credibility of the international system itself,” and in which the genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel is a clear example.
Referring to the Group of Friends, the head of Venezuelan diplomacy considered that it is the moral reserve of the founding principles of the United Nations, and affirmed that “its proposals and approaches transcend” the world organization itself, since they not only revitalize its existential reason, but also demonstrate its validity.”
