The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is to meet tomorrow on Guyana’s concerns about Venezuelan moving to annexe its county of Essequibo and a mediation role seems to be emerging for the Brazilian President in toning down tensions.
Bloomberg yesterday reported that the UNSC is to meet in a closed-door session in New York at which both Guyana and Venezuela will be given the opportunity to make a presentation.
The UNSC was approached by Guyana after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Tuesday announced plans to approve mining in the Essequibo and appointed a military commander for the area among other steps in violation of stipulations from the International Court of Justice on Friday.
