  1. “We again implore all the parties concerned to engage in such a dialogue in order to secure and sustain our region, Latin America and the Caribbean, as a zone of peace.”

  2. “Suriname restates its strong commitment to the principles of international law as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, as well as in our own Constitution. Suriname therefore denounces all acts of aggression that violate those principles. Given that international concern should first and foremost be directed to the welfare of the Venezuelan people, my delegation rejects the politicization of humanitarian aid offered without the consent of the legitimate Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Suriname reiterates its call for meaningful and inclusive dialogue, such as the Montevideo Mechanism, as the only way to reach a peaceful and lasting solution to the internal conflict that has arisen in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.”

  3. “We urge all sides, difficult and complex though it may be, to enter into a constructive dialogue and work together to build a pathway to peace for the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. I would now like to make a few remarks in my national capacity. First, we would like to thank Under-Secretary- General Rosemary DiCarlo for her briefing. The Government of Suriname follows with increasing concern the situation regarding the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Reports of humanitarian aid efforts aggressively being carried out at the Venezuelan border, while stability and tranquillity seem to remain in that country, are particularly alarming, as such actions undermine the principles of independence, impartiality, neutrality and consent, which should govern all humanitarian operations.”

  4. “They will act as honest brokers and assist in actualizing the Montevideo Mechanism by supporting attempts to bring the contending parties to the table of dialogue and diplomacy. We urge all parties, inside and outside Venezuela, to give the Mechanism the time and space it needs to work for the benefit of the well-being of the people of that country. From the painful experience of history, both ancient and recent, the United Nations knows the high and awful price of military intervention and the scourge of war. Ancient and recent history have also taught us that peace and prosperity are indivisible. The people of Venezuela have already suffered enough. They deserve to live in peace. They deserve a future that offers prosperity.”

  5. “The first phase, the dialogue phase, creates conditions for direct contact among the actors involved in an environment of security. The second phase is the negotiations phase, which provides a strategic presentation of the results of the dialogue phase, as well as opportunities for the relaxation of positions, finding common ground and the identification of potential agreement. The third phase is the commitments phase, which fosters the construction of, and subscription to, agreements that are based on the results of the negotiations phase. Finally, the implementation phase sees the materialization of the commitments assumed in the commitments phase, with international support. Four distinguished citizens of recognized international experience and competence from Latin America and the Caribbean have been identified for that purpose.”

  6. “We support and call for a pathway to peace - forged not by threats but by dialogue, not by escalating tensions but by cooling them down, not by marksmanship but by mediation and not by the suffocation of sanctions but by the tools of diplomacy. Those of us who wish for the peace of Venezuela and the prosperity of its people must actively encourage dialogue in which both sides sit, talk and listen so that common ground on which they can move forward may be found. It is in pursuit of that broad objective that our heads of Government have offered their good offices to facilitate dialogue among all parties with a view to creating apeaceful resolution to the deepening deadlock. Our countries fully support and endorse the Montevideo Mechanism, which has four main phases.”

  7. “Those principles form the root of multilateralism - indeed the very foundation upon which the United Nations was built. Today we reaffirm our adherence to those principles. Also critical for us is the maintenance of the area of the Caribbean and its wider regions as a zone of peace. We remain steadfast in our view that economic strangulation and military intervention not only run counter to those principles but will also exacerbate the already great suffering of the people of Venezuela. It is our position that there must be a political solution that is crafted and owned by Venezuelans themselves and their leaders.”

  8. “The countries for which I speak do not choose one side or the other. Instead, we choose principle 4 the principle that led to the founding of the United Nations and the inclusion, in the Charter of the United Nations, of Article 2, paragraph 4, which calls for Member States to refrain from the threat or use of force. That principle gave rise to Article 21 of the Charter of the Organization of American States, which recognizes territorial inviolability and the principles of human rights, international law, the rule of law, the sanctity of national sovereignty and the pivotal principles of the peaceful settlement of disputes and the pursuit ofpeace, dialogue and compromise to ensure the preservation of the dignity and worth of the human person.”

  9. “I have the honour of speaking on behalf of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago and Suriname. At the outset, I welcome the presence of His Excellency Mr. Jorge Arreaza Montserrat, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The countries for which I speak continue to follow closely the current unsatisfactory and increasingly volatile situation in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. It is with grave concern that we also follow the highly polarized and polarizing circumstances surrounding Venezuela at this time, as well as the deteriorating situation in that country. In all of this, we are most concerned about, and motivated by, the plight of the people of Venezuela.”

  10. “The rule of law must be respected. In the light of the foregoing, the Government of Suriname restates its recognition of His Excellency Mr. Nicolas Maduro Moros as the democratically elected president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. With respect to the internal conflict that has arisen in Venezuela, Suriname calls for inclusive and meaningful dialogue, which, we believe, is the only way to lasting and peaceful solutions, including to addressing existing humanitarian needs. We implore all parties concerned to engage in such a dialogue and indeed to secure and sustain the whole of the Americas as a zone of peace.”

  11. “It is the principled position of my delegation, as stipulated by our Constitution, to strive for peaceful coexistence and resort to dialogue in any existing conflict- irrespective of its nature, whether national or international - and to uphold those internationally accepted principles of non-interference in the internal affairs of States, non-intervention, and respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States. The Government of Suriname therefore rejects any armed aggression, any form of political or economic pressure, as well as any direct or indirect interference in the domestic affairs of other States. Furthermore, based on our principled position, Suriname cannot support any Government that is not elected through democratic processes and procedures in accordance with countries' respective constitutions.”

  12. “First, we would like to thank the Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo for her extensive briefing. As so many others on our continent and throughout the Americas are doing, the Government of Suriname is following with great concern the situation in and regarding the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Recent developments are particularly troubling as they negatively affect the stability and tranquillity in that sister country, while possibly steering the region away from the ideals ofa zone of peace. As it has done in other forums, Suriname reiterates its strong commitment to the guiding principles of international law, as enshrined not only in the Charter of the United Nations and various other international agreements, but also in our own Constitution.”
