Earlier today in Geneva, the UN's human rights office (OHCHR) raised a red flag: the recent US intervention in Venezuela crosses a line and puts global safety at risk 🌍.
Ravina Shamdasani, the OHCHR's main spokesperson, told reporters that Washington's actions violate key rules of international law – rules that say no country should threaten another's borders or meddle in its politics.
"It sends a signal that the powerful can do whatever they like," Shamdasani stressed. When big players ignore the rulebook, it chips away at trust and stability everywhere.
In simple terms, respecting a nation's territorial integrity means not invading its space, and upholding its political independence means letting its people decide their own path 🚫🛡️.
Why should young global citizens care? Imagine playing your favorite multiplayer game where some gamers hack to win – it ruins the fun for everyone. It's the same on the world stage: fairness and rules keep things balanced.
OHCHR is calling on all states to speak up and remind everyone that international law matters. Without these safeguards, the door opens to more conflicts and crises – and that's bad news for all of us.
Stay tuned, stay curious, and keep holding power to account! ✊📢
