US operation in Venezuela undermined international law: UN

16 Sept 07:29 Key points summarised by AI

The United Nations voiced deep concern over a recent US military operation in Venezuela, asserting it clearly "undermined a fundamental principle of international law."
UN human rights spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani stated that nations must not threaten or use force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.
The US operation involved commandos forcibly taking Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife amid airstrikes and a heavy military deployment.
The UN rejected US justifications based on Venezuela's human rights violations, insisting that accountability cannot be achieved through unlawful unilateral military intervention, fearing it will worsen the country's instability.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
