Speaking in the United Nations Security Council, Ambassador Jerry Matjila asserts that the situation in Venezuela does not constitute a threat to international peace and security.

The 15-member  United Nations Security Council is meeting on Venezuela at the request of the United States.

It wants the UN powerhouse to vote this week on its draft proposal calling for elections in Venezuela and compelling the regime of Nicholas Maduro to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Russia is at loggerheads with the US which it accuses of preparing for military intervention in Venezuela.

As a non permanent member of the council, South Africa’s position is that the council should net even be considering the Venezuela situation because it does not pose a threat to world peace.
