Venezuela has called the rejection by the Organization of the American States of Colombias military incursion into Ecuador a defeat of the US and its preventive war.The text condemns the Colombian military and police force offensive in the Ecuadorian province of Sucumbios on March 1, 2008, and considers it a clear violation of articles 19 and 21 of the OAS charter.
In a statement to local press from the headquarters of that organization in Washington, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro said that the document ratified the position adopted by the Rio Group on March 7.
"The big step made in Santo Domingo was much greater than this OAS, which the US simply tried to sabotage, boycott, blockade in different ways like they have done for years," noted Maduro.According to the Venezuelan minister, the position adopted by Washington at the meeting shows that "OAS fails to meet the needs of our peoples."
It was the Rio Group, Latin America and the Caribbean, with their spirit of identity and unity, that found a way to bring down tensions, bring positions closer, overcome differences, admit mistakes, and make the first steps to normalize relations, said Maduro.
