See below the full statement issued by the Organization of American States (OAS):
The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) unequivocally condemns the recent actions of Venezuelan naval vessels that have threatened the floating production, storage, and discharge units (FPSO) of ExxonMobil operating within the international maritime territory of Guyana
These acts of intimidation constitute a clear violation of international law, undermine regional stability and threaten the principles of peaceful coexistence between nations. The OAS reiterates its strong support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Guyana. The Venezuelan regime must immediately stop all aggressive maneuvers that may escalate tensions in the region.
The General Secretariat urges the Venezuelan regime to respect the ongoing international legal processes, including the resolution of the territorial dispute before the International Court of Justice. Any attempt to use coercion or force to modify established borders is unacceptable and contrary to the fundamental principles of the OAS Charter and international law in general.
We call on the international community to remain vigilant and to defend the rule of law and regional security.
