UN calls for respecting airspace law after US threat on Venezuela

The United Nations has urged all nations to fully adhere to international law, emphasizing the safety of civil aviation. This call follows a US threat to completely close Venezuelan airspace. The UN spokesperson stressed the need for peaceful resolution mechanisms amidst escalating regional tensions.

The UN on Monday called for full adherence to international law to guarantee the safety of international civil aviation following the US announcement that Venezuelan airspace would be "completely shut down."

UN's position remains "consistent" amid escalating tensions, Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the secretary-general, told reporters.

He urged countries to show respect to their obligations under international law, including the UN Charter and all applicable legal frameworks.

Dujarric emphasized the need to use existing mechanisms to address issues "peacefully ensuring the safety and security and connectivity of international civil aviation."

The call comes after US President Donald Trump recently threatened on social media to "completely shut down" Venezuelan airspace, which prompted Caracas to demand "unconditional respect" for its airspace.

The US has expanded military operations across Latin America in recent months, deploying Marines, warships, fighter jets, bombers, submarines, and drones.

Last week, Trump said the US will "very soon" take action against Venezuelan drug traffickers on land.

Since September, the US military has carried out 21 strikes on vessels it claimed were loaded with drugs, killing 83 people.
