Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 10 a (new)

Motion for a resolution	Amendment
Motion for a resolution	Amendment10a. Calls attention to previous positions adopted by Parliament and the Council towards the political crisis in Venezuela; recalls that the EU has consistently stated that Nicolás Maduro lacked the legitimacy of a democratically elected president and that it therefore did not recognise him as such; hopes that recent developments may create openings for democratic progress for the Venezuelan people and civil society; stresses, however, that the manner in which this political change occurs is of fundamental importance, and expresses serious concern that the United States’ unilateral military action, conducted outside of lawful multilateral frameworks, raises significant questions under international law, and risks undermining the legitimacy and sustainability of a peaceful democratic transition; emphasises that, under all circumstances, the principles of international law and the UN Charter – including respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and the prohibition on the use of force – must be upheld, noting that permanent members of the UN Security Council have a particular responsibility in this regard; supports a swift, peaceful and Venezuelan-led transition to democracy, to stabilise the country and allow for the return of the exiled population; welcomes the beginning of the release of political prisoners as a positive signal; recalls that they were unjustly detained in inhumane and cruel conditions; demands that all political prisoners and others arbitrarily detained be released unconditionally; underscores that the EU shares the priority of combating transnational organised crime and drug trafficking, which pose significant security challenges, but stresses that these challenges must be addressed through sustained cooperation, in full respect of international law; strongly underscores that Venezuela’s oil and natural resources belong to its people, and must serve to take the country out of poverty and foster its sustainable development;
