The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is firmly committed to the fundamental principles of international law and multilateralism enshrined in the UN Charter, including sovereignty and territorial integrity of States and respect for human dignity. The Region reiterates its call for peaceful dialogue through diplomatic channels to ensure Venezuela’s stability, good governance, democracy and prosperity for the people of Venezuela.
Venezuela – Statement of CARICOM
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects, condemns, and denounces before the international community the extremely grave military aggression carried out by the current Government of the United States of America against Venezuelan territory and population, targeting civilian and military locations in the city of Caracas, the capital of the Republic, and the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira. This act constitutes a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations, particularly Articles 1 and 2, which enshrine respect for sovereignty, the legal equality of States, and the prohibition of the use of force. Such aggression threatens international peace and stability, specifically in Latin America and the Caribbean, and places the lives of millions of people at serious risk.

Beginning in June, the Amtrak Police Department (APD) had been running a plainclothes sting operation in New York’s Penn Station bathroom—the old one near Eighth Avenue, not any of the new Moynihan ones. Writing for The City, Gwynne Hogan reported a clear “surge” of twenty-three arrests for “public lewdness” during Pride month alone. In the months that followed, around two hundred men were arrested, including, by September, twenty in one day. Amtrak confirmed this as a response to “customer complaints”—which, if true, marks pretty much the first time they’ve responded, and with such exacting force, to customer complaints.
