VENEZUELA: STRIKE 'UNDERMINES INTERNATIONAL LAW' >>> European leaders also step up for Denmark, Greenland.

- 

US air strikes on Venezuela and the seizing of the country's leader on the weekend clearly "undermined a fundamental principle of international law", the United Nations said yesterday.

"States must not threaten or use force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state," Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the UN rights office, said in Geneva.

"And this is what we are seeing," she said, calling on the international community to "come together with one voice to make clear this is an action in contravention of the international law that was set up by member states".
