Imphal, Jan 6, 2025: The Manipur Students’ Federation (MSF) has strongly condemned the recent United States military action in Venezuela, calling it a serious violation of international law and urging the United Nations to intervene immediately.
In a press release issued on January 6, the apex student body of Manipur stated that the US operation, which reportedly resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, showed blatant disregard for state sovereignty and international norms. MSF said the action lacked authorisation from the UN Security Council and was not justified as self-defence under the UN Charter.
The federation noted that such military action violates core principles of international law, including non-interference, respect for sovereignty, and the prohibition of the use of force. It added that the UN Secretary-General has described the incident as setting a “dangerous precedent,” with several countries, including Russia, China, France, Brazil, Cuba and Mexico, condemning the US move.
Describing the capture of President Maduro and his wife as “kidnapping,” the MSF raised serious concerns over human rights and the rule of law. It demanded their immediate release, stating that the act undermines Venezuela’s constitutional order and territorial integrity.
The MSF also expressed concern over divisions within the international community on the issue and warned that the incident could destabilise the region and weaken global order. It urged the United Nations to take up the matter urgently and direct the US to respect international law.
Calling for an immediate end to hostilities, the MSF appealed for a peaceful resolution through dialogue. It urged all parties to uphold sovereignty, non-interference and human rights, and called on the international community to work collectively towards lasting peace.
