BOGOTA - Colombian President Ivan Duque called on Saturday for coordinated international sanctions targeting Venezuela to help stop President Nicolas Maduro’s support for Colombian rebels and drug traffickers from destabilizing Latin America.
“We should look at communal sanctions and actions so that the threat of protecting terrorism in its territory ends,” Duque told Reuters before traveling to the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York. Latin American countries could invoke the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance, known by its Spanish initials TIAR, against Maduro, Duque said. The treaty considers an attack on any of the signatories to be an attack on them all.
Most western nations consider Maduro illegitimate - saying he secured a second term last year via a fraudulent vote. Colombia is among the countries which back opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s rightful leader.Colombia stands ready to confront any attack by former members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia rebels, a group of whom recently rearmed, Duque said.
