On Jan 6, South Korea’s ruling Democratic Party lawmakers publicly challenged the U.S. military strikes in Venezuela, warning they could shake up global peace and stability. 🌏
In a statement signed by 68 MPs, they pointed out that these operations clash with the UN Charter — think of it as the world’s rulebook banning force and meddling in others’ affairs. Letting one superpower flex its muscles abroad without checks could set a risky precedent.
They stressed that poor governance at home does not justify military action against another nation. Instead, any push to restore democracy in Venezuela should be led by Venezuelans themselves, using peaceful diplomacy, not force.
Why it matters: Ignoring UN principles risks a domino effect of conflicts, just like a group chat goes off the rails when someone hijacks the convo. 🌐🤝 Respecting each nation’s sovereignty keeps our global village calm and connected.
