Expert Criticizes Washington's Approach as Violation of Sovereignty
Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder and president of the Schiller Institute, has issued a stark warning about escalating U.S. actions in Venezuela during an interview with CMG this week. The German political analyst emphasized that President Nicolás Maduro remains the democratically elected leader of the sovereign state, asserting that Washington's recent measures to forcibly remove him violate fundamental principles of international law.
"This aggressive approach risks destabilizing not just Venezuela but the entire Latin American region," Zepp-LaRouche stated. She cautioned that such interventions could create prolonged geopolitical fallout, leaving the U.S. entangled in complex regional consequences. Her comments come amid heightened tensions following reported American military movements near Venezuelan borders.
Broader Implications for Global Order
The Schiller Institute president highlighted concerns about precedent-setting actions undermining national sovereignty frameworks. "When powerful states disregard electoral mandates through force, it erodes trust in international institutions," she observed, noting potential ripple effects for developing nations seeking autonomous governance models.
