Description
Summary:A speech, by Hugo Chavez, President of the Bolivian Republic of Venezuela, is presented. Everyone does not look for the peace of the cemetery, as said Kant ironically, but a peace based on the most zealous respect for international law. Unfortunately, the UN, through all its history, instead of adding and multiplying efforts in favor of peace among nations, ends up supporting, sometimes through its actions and other times by omission, the most ruthless injustices. Mankind is facing the very real threat of a permanent war. The empire is ready to create the political conditions for triggering a war anywhere, and the case of Libya proves it. Venezuela calls for the establishment of a broad alliance for peace and against war, with the supreme aim of avoiding war at all costs. If everyone does not make a commitment, once and for all, to rebuilding the United Nations, this organization will lose its remaining credibility.
