The declaration by National Security Advisor, John Bolton, that “the Monroe Doctrine is alive and well” is a deep insult to the hundreds of millions of people in the Global South who insist on respect for their sovereignty.

The expressions of such hatred and bigotry, well documented both inside Venezuela and now outside the Embassy in Washington DC, only confirms that the defenders of a peaceful resolution to the Venezuelan crisis, the critics of a possible US military intervention, and the US citizens protecting the Venezuelan Embassy based on the Vienna Convention, are on the right side of history.īy filling the foreign policy swamp with the most reactionary trio that Washington can muster-Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Elliot Abrams-the Trump administration has deployed the two most egregious features of the infamous Monroe Doctrine: imperialist aggression aimed at overthrowing non-compliant governments, and the attempt to install obedient client governments willing to implement the neoliberal gospel.

The late President Hugo Chávez was often attacked by some sectors of the right wing opposition for his skin color as well as his Indigenous and Afro-descendant heritage.
Many Guaidó activists have taunted embassy protectors with racial, homophobic, and misogynist slurs, reminding observers of the class and race divide in Venezuela. COHA urges that these authorities begin an immediate inter-agency review of the policies and procedures of the various agencies involved in policing the embassy premises and its vicinity with a view to ensuring public safety and respect for the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The office of the Mayor of DC and the State Department should immediately facilitate the entry of food and medicine to the embassy defenders and prevent any further physical assaults by Guaidó supporters on peace activists. To the Office of the DC Mayor: allow food and medicine At this writing police have allowed the delivery of a food package by rope and pulley to the defenders inside the building.

In one especially egregious case, rather than facilitate the delivery of food and sanitary supplies, the police arrested Ariel Gold, member of Code Pink, for “throwing a missile” of bread to blockaded embassy defenders in need of food. The DC Police, the Secret Service and Federal Police agents have stood by while some Guaidó supporters vandalized the building, blocked delivery of food and medicine, and physically assaulted peace activists and journalists.
In particular, COHA denounces the siege currently underway against the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington DC, organized by supporters of Juan Guaidó, some of whom have been physically aggressive against a group of peace activists and civil society members who are trying to protect this piece of Venezuela territory. There is therefore no legal basis for a de-facto ambassador nominated unilaterally by self-declared president Juan Guaidó to seize the Embassy of Venezuela in Washington DC. The constitutional government of President Nicholas Maduro has sole authority over its diplomatic missions and is recognized by the United Nations. The escalating US war against the constitutional government of Venezuela and the assault on its diplomatic missions undermines the Vienna Convention (1) on Diplomatic Relations (Articles 22, 44, and 45), substitutes coercion for diplomacy, and threatens to ignite a civil war in this Bolivarian Republic.
