We, the representatives Civil BRICS Council explicitly condemn barbaric and illegitimate actions undertaken by the USA to launch aggression against sovereign state of Venezuela and kidnap its legitimately elected leader Nicholas Maduro along with his wife and member of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Cilia Flores. All these actions constitute a clear violation of the United Nations Charter and the fundamental principle of international law - national sovereignty. Under such circumstances, we believe that it is an ultimate legal and moral obligation to immediately convene an emergency UN Security Council session. We also urge the Indian chairship to call on emergency BRICS meeting and express all possible international support for Venezuela, its people, and its leadership. Silence is not an option and would this way only legitimize such imperialistic behavior, coercion, neo-colonialism, disrespect for international law and international community, and bring serious consequences for global peace and security. We call upon the leaders of the BRICS nations to demand the immediate return of Maduro and Flores to Venezuela and the immediate withdrawal of US forces from the South American country.
