The United Nations (UN) Security Council yesterday convened to discuss the US military operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who is now facing trial in New York on drug-related charges, including conspiracy to commit narco-terrorism.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed concern that the US action could further destabilise Venezuela, warning of a possible escalation of instability in the country. Meanwhile, during his first court appearance, Maduro pleaded not guilty, telling the judge that he remains the president of Venezuela and is not guilty of anything that is mentioned. His wife, Cilia Flores, also entered a plea of not guilty.

For more on this,  Professor Bheki Mngomezulu, Political Science & International Relations Analyst and the Director for the Centre for the Advancement of Non-Racialism and Democracy at Nelson Mandela University.
