President Irfaan Ali yesterday told the United Nations General Assembly that as Guyana contends with Venezuelan aggression 58 years and counting, it hopes that its western neighbour adheres to International Court of Justice rulings and also sought support from member nations to ensure the rule of law is followed in this hemisphere.
“The United Nations has a special responsibility for the security of small states. Small states look to multilateralism and the rule of international law to protect them from foreign aggression. Guyana is a small state that has had to contend with aggression from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela for all 58 years of our nationhood,” Ali yesterday stated during his address to the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
