In a letter delivered to the United Nations representation in the South Asian island, the group of Sri Lankan organizations called for urgent deliberation by the General Assembly on the attack against the South American nation and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Delcy Flores.

In this regard, they stressed the need for deliberation on the situation and, if appropriate, the adoption of a resolution in accordance with international law.

The National Patriotic Movement of Sri Lanka emphasized that there is great international concern about the illegal actions committed by Washington, considering them war crimes under international law.

It pointed out that, in accordance with global standards, accountability must be applied without exception.

Furthermore, it expressed its hope for decisive and morally authoritative action from the United Nations at this crucial moment to defend the principles upon which the international organization was founded.

The Sri Lankan group added that illegal actions by the United States pose a profound challenge to international law and the credibility of the multilateral system.
