Arbitrary Sanctions Threaten Development Rights Of 76 Nations
On Thursday, Venezuela’s representative to the United Nations, Samuel Moncada, recalled that the “Right to Development” of more than 76 countries is being systematically attacked by arbitrary, illegal, and cruel sanctions imposed by wealthy nations.
“Those sanctions are weapons of economic warfare,” he said on behalf of the Group of Friends in Defense of the United Nations Charter during the first observance of the International Day against Unilateral Coercitive Measures.
The Venezuelan official highlighted the intentional coincidence of the date (Dec. 4) with the anniversary of the Declaration on the Right to Development
