Australia awaits facts and clarity on US weekend military operation in Venezuela
Published 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
As the world digests the US capture of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro, the Australian government is calling for diplomatic restraint while domestic critics warn the military operation constitutes a "gross breach" of international law. The Coalition is backing what it calls the "decisive action" against a government they link to global drug trafficking, while the Greens and legal experts warn that failing to condemn the raid sets a dangerous precedent for global aggression and puts Australian sovereignty at risk.
