FACT CHECK: Venezuelan Maduro Baselessly Accuses Guyana’s Ali of Violating the Treaty of Geneva
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2023
- Venezuela's National Assembly unanimously approved a national referendum that would seek support for Venezuela’s “defense” of the disputed Essequibo, a resource-rich strip of land controlled and administered by Guyana, “against the American empire,” Reuters reported on September 23, citing Foreign Affairs Minister Yvan Gil Pinto.
Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali responded, saying Venezuela’s move is an “affront to the rule of international law.”
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro parried via X, formerly known as Twitter, accusing Ali of “hypocrisy and false victimization.” Ali is “turning Guyana into a branch of ExxonMobil” and allowing the United States to turn it “into a military base against Bolivar’s Venezuela,” Maduro wrote.
The U.S. has previously denied that it has plans to set up a military base in Guyana. The Pentagon did not comment on Maduro’s latest accusation.
Maduro also claimed:
“President Irfaan Ali, enough of lies and of trying to hide the historical truth that weighs on the dispute over the Essequibo territory, whose only means of resolution, as you well know, is the Geneva Agreement of 1966.”
“The steps your government is taking violate international legality and jeopardize peace in the region.”
That is misleading.
The 1966 Geneva Agreement says that in case Venezuela and Guyana fail to resolve the border dispute peacefully, “they shall refer the decision as to the means of settlement to an appropriate international organ upon which they both agree or, failing agreement on this point, to the secretary-general of the United Nations.”
That is exactly what Guyana did: when unable to resolve the territorial dispute with Venezuela over Essequibo, Guyana appealed to the United Nations’ International Court of Justice (ICJ), through the Geneva Agreement of 1966.
Contrary to Maduro's accusations against Ali, it is his country’s move to put the “defense” of Essequibo on vote that has been seen as a violation of the Geneva agreement of 1966. #Venezuela #Guyana #factcheck #voanews

@@germanp4784it doesn't pick up a history book about essequibo and its people
All of Britain's duplicitous actions in this region have legally come to nought. Land west of the Essequibo is indeed Venezuela's, but the ICJ has yet to rule on it. In the interim, the 1966 agreement requires any exploration activities in this region to be conducted only with the written approval of both Venezuela and Guyana, which Guyana has abjectly failed to do. Guyana simply doesnt have a leg to stand on in this matter.
Essequibo belongs to Guyana. And Venezuela can’t do a damn thing about it.

please note! the maps you used in your report are NOT reflecting the correct situation of the Guyana land boundaries. On the southeastern side (boundary with Suriname) there is another disputed area.

GUYANA AS A SOVEREIGN NATION HAS ALL RIGHTS TO PURSUE EXONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WITHIN ITS TERRITORY. GUYANA IS ABIDING WITH INTERNACIONAL LAW THAT IS WITHIN THE GENEVA ACCORD
Well the communist from my home country believe it’s theirs. When I lived in Venezuela I didn’t hear of these issues
The operative words here "WITHIN ITS TERRITORY": I agree, and so does Venezuela. The simple fact of the matter is that the territory in question has always been part of Venezuela. Do some research on how this became a dispute to begin with.
@@freedomofpress5605 THE MIDDLE OF THE 17th CENTURY WAS A LONG TIME AGO. VENEZUELA AS A STATE WAS YET TO BE BORN. EUROPEAN POWERS WERE CONTENDING FOR SPACE IN SOUTH AMÉRICA. THE TREATY OF MUNSTER BETWEEN SPAIN AND THE NETHERLANDS WAS ESSENTIALLY ABOUT THEIR OCCUPANCIES, AND IN PARTICULAR ABOUT THE ASSURED PLACE OF THE DUTCH IN THE REGION THAT WOULD BE BRAZIL, VENEZUELA AND THE GUIANAS. FROM THE ESSEQUIBO TO THE ORINOCO, WATCHED OVER KYK OVER AL, FROM THE ATLANTIC THROUGH THE POMEROON REGION, THE TREATY OF MUNSTER LAID OUT GUYANA 'S DUTCH BEGINNINGS. AS JUSTICE BREWER SUGGESTED IN THE 1899 ARBITRAL PROCEEDINGS [VOL. 8P. 2234, ETC]: " THE SPANISH AUTHORITIES RECOGNIZED THAT THE CONCESSION, OR CONFIRMATION, OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT, IN THE TREATY, WAS NOT THAT SIMPLY THE ISLAND OF KYKOVERAL BUT OF TERRITORY APPURTENANT THERTO AND CONSIDERED THAT THE POMEROON WAS REALLY APPURTENANT TO THE ESSEQUIBO".... THE BRITISH ARGUMENT WAS THAT HOLLAND DID NOT DERIVE TITLE BY CESSION, AND WAS NOT SO LIMITED, THE TREATY DID NOT GIVE ANY PARAMOUNT EFFECT TO SPAIN'S ALLEGED TITLE BY DISCOVERY AND THAT HOLLAND WAS AT LIBERTY TO EXPAND HER POSSESSIONS INTO AREAS OF GUIANA NOT ACTUALLY HELD AND POSSESSED BY SPAIN AT THE DATE OF THE TREATY.THE BRITISH ARGUMENT WAS ONE MORE IN ACCORD WITH THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE OF THE TREATY AND WAS ONE THAT THE YRIBUNAL CLEARLY ADOPTED. VENEZUELA DID QUITE WELL IN THE ARBITRATION:IN THE WORDS OF THEIR LAWYERS...."SECURING TO VENEZUELA THE MOUTH OF THE ORINOCO AND CONTROL OF THE ORINOCO BASIN,THESE BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS AT ISSUE". AND AS WE HAVE SEEN, FOR SIXTY YEARS AFTER WARDS THEY ADOPTED, RESPECTED EVEN PROTECTED THE BOUNDARY AS AWARDED BY THE TRIBUNAL AND DEMARCATED ON THE GROUND: ALL UNDER THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON OF 1897, WHICH THEY CONCLUDED WITH BRITAIN AND RATIFIED BY THE VENEZUELAN CONGRESS.
@@freedomofpress5605you should do some research sk
@@freedomofpress5605 No, the territory has not been a part of Venezuela for over 100 years so they must operate within their own territory. Essequibo is Guyanese territory, and Guyana has every right to operate "WITHIN ITS TERRITORY" as you speak of.
"Baselessly" is the action word here. A nation (Venezuela) that exists way before Guyana was even thought of and the Venezuelan claim is "baseless". New Granada existed because the kingdom of Spain, the country that did and paid for the actual exploration created it making the Essequibo river its easternmost border. Now the Ducht coma and take the land without any claim to it, then sel it to the English and it is Venezuela the "barelessly" mention.

Nope he didn't tour shit. He couldn't cross all that thick jungle in his olden days that's impossible. He wouldn't even make it back. If in this day and age your soldiers cant even invade essequibo with tanks or boat, he couldnt have done it in his days. That being said it was part of dutch guiana in the 1609s, then given to British Guiana in the 1899s.
If you look at a map of British or Dutch Guiana you'll see that it included part of Orinoco in it

🍻🥳
The Dutch were the first foreigners to settle Essequibo in the 1500's, the Spanish never settled nor conquered it(neither have Venezuelans to this day), yet the Spanish/Venezuelans had wrongfully claimed it in their Gran Colombia map in the 1700's. How can you claim land you never settled nor conquered? The indigenous people of Essequibo also allied themselves with the Dutch to protect Essequibo from the murderous Spanish regime that wanted it, with the daughter of a tribal chief even marrying one of the Dutch leaders to solidify this alliance. The cowardly Spanish regime tried to invade Essequibo and ran away when they encountered the Dutch force allied with 10,000+ Amerindians guarding it. Instead the Spanish resorted to terrorist like activities by sabotaging and raiding various Dutch forts across Essequibo but never managed to conquer it. The British inherited Essequibo from the Dutch but western borders were not defined. Fast forward to 1899 when the VENEZUELAN SIDE WON the judgement(Yes-this is the part they don't tell Venezuelans in school) with the help of the USA because they(and the USA) wanted the Orinocco river in order to control the shipping lanes whilst the British got left with empty Essequibo jungle. BOTH parties respected this decision about the borders at first. VENEZUELA INITIALLY ACCEPTED THE 1899 TREATY even though they falsely claim they didn't. You can easily expose their lies by looking at official stamps and maps issued by the Venezuela govt after 1899 that shows the Essequibo belonging to Guyana. Fast forward another 63 yrs when Venezuela "discovered" a post humous memo written by Mallet-Prevost that alleges that the British were up to hanky panky with the Russians in 1899 to favor Britain in the Treaty(Britain was not favored in this treaty as mentioned earlier since they lost Orinocco). This memo was found after everyone who participated in the 1899 treaty was dead, so no one could be cross examined to verify this hanky panky allegation made by one man. Venezuela suddenly decided that they no longer accept the 1899 Treaty. Can you overturn an International Treaty based on a dead man's "Dear Diary" entry that was never validated? ABSURD!! The 1966 Geneva agreement between these two countries does not invalidate the original 1899 Treaty which clearly defines Essequibo as Guyana. This dead man's memo is what Venezuela's entire claim to that land is based on, which is also why they are terrified of going to the ICJ to back up their claims, they have no legit claims. Essequibo is, was, and will always be Guyana. The ICJ will likely rule in favor of Guyana that the 1899 Treaty is still in effect, which will make it two times that Guyana will defeat Venezuela over this Essequibo issue.
Guayana Esequibo is 🇻🇪

Sounds to me like The president of Guayana is allowing it.
Yep
Wrong, he brings it up very often at U.N hearings. As a matter of fact, he is pushing for a halt to a Venezuelan referendum of it's citizen to support annexation of the territory at this very moment by appealing to the ICJ.
Suddenly the US has opened its borders for Venezuelan migrants and and softening sanctions on Venezuela .The Caribbean has no army to fight the superpower thugs except to bargain away their mineral resources for protection .
ALL OF ESSEQUIBO BELONGS TO GUYANA!
They should study history a little more, they do not mention 1648 the treaty of Münster so that they know how Holland arrived in the Guianas, 1777 when the Captaincy General of Venezuela was created, 1811 the territory that Venezuela formed in its independence from Spain, nor do you mention the territories that made up the great Colombia, in all these forms of Venezuela that I have mentioned, the territory of Guayana Esequiba was always present, before you and I arrived in this world, General Dimingo Sifontes in 1895. stopped the English pirates of the era in his intentions to continue expanding more Venezuelan territory through the Bolívar state since his intentions were to control the mouth of the Orinoco River in the current Delta Amacuro state, generating the Cuyuni River incident and thus the United States enters. this story. Given his doctrine of America for the Americans, which was nothing more than guaranteeing the resources of these regions, he managed to obtain arbitration, the English accepted with the condition that they were not going to sit down to negotiate with the Venezuelans, stated the representative of Venezuela. . would be appointed by the United States, as happens in a dispute where one of the parties is not present, as explained to us by experts in international law. Severo Prevost, a lawyer who represented Venezuela, witnessed the fixing of that trial and left everything behind. in writing narrating how he conspired against Venezuela to strip it of its territory. When he died, this document was published as expressly ordered. This led Venezuela to raise a protest before the United Nations in 1962, in the voice of its foreign minister of the Marco Falcón Briceño era, which led to the signing of the Geneva agreement of 1966 that annulled the Paris arbitration award of 1899. In In 1966, Guyana also became independent from the United Kingdom and Venezuela recognized its independence in the eastern territory. of the Essequibo River where Guyana was born as a Dutch sugar company, VENEZUELA already defended its Essequibo Territory, so the oil thing is irrelevant, I recommend Guyana not to tempt the devil, a war is not good for anyone, the independence of Venezuela cost a lot of blood, It was not a gift like that of Guyana, when the sugar plantation stopped being profitable!
Whether you, Venezuelans, invade Guyana or not, Guyana will still exist. Guyana will still rich from our oil and petroleum wealth. But Venezuela will have an enemy on its eastern border. Guyana will have money to buy superior military weapons and build an army.
@@josephwinslow7613 Exactly, the enemy will be where the cage was born for the African slaves who brought bread to America and where they planted their sugar. I agree with you that Guyana will be east of the Essequibo River, where it always was from the beginning until the English pirates entered history, for example. We will be prepared for that because we have already discovered that they are hypocrites just like their new "strategic partners." Don't think that Venezuelans are easy to bend, most of us are very good people with everyone, but don't disrespect us!
Name one Spanish settlement or archaeological piece in Essequibo - there are none.
@@khemrajdhaneshrie3913 In this issue Venezuela is right (capitalists and communists/right and left, all agree on this/the venezuelans whose large majority do not support Maduro's regime also agree on the issue, historically the region was theirs. So it has nothing to do with the corrupt Maduro's regime). Regarding my country Brazil, hopefully It will soon get out of "BRICS". Trade and partneship with corrupt and disgraced nations such as India, China, Russia and Saudi Arabia will not end well for Brazil, It will only further increase corruption here, besides open the doors to future immigration from these nations, bringing social division, hatred and confusion to the country, can not imagine Brazil receiving Indian, Pakistanis, Arabs and Middle eastern immigrants, nor billionary chinese and russian businessmen, the ammount of social division and political corruption It would bring would be unparalell in our history. "BRICS" is no different in levels of corruption than NATO, i'm sure It is worse.

Right now everything is seen a as patetical joke, but before back in the 1950s General MPG would have retaken the territories. The Brits knew it! Never actually cared about Guyana but were outraged "an inferior" enemy was turning too powerful for them and demanded uncle sam to look to the other side in order to pressure his departure. Don't forget V.Heart's rebellion too at the Rupununui after their "independence" so keep hiding behind NATO & Exxon Mobile.
Marcos Pérez Jiménez fue el mejor presidente de venezuela. Mi abuelo arribó de Italia cuando MPJ era presidente.
V.heart had never shared those plans of annexing to Venezuela with the people of rupununi. She spread conspiracy that their homes would be taken away and would be killed by black and Indian people. Bear in mind she was like a half white woman and its those half whites that spread that conspiracy.
Also to understand why it isn't apart of Venezuela was that it was never occupied by Spanish empire but it was apart of Dutch Guiana in the 1600s before being handed over to britian
Suriname has also a border dispute with Guyana.
If the Venezuelan government of Nicolás Maduro decides tomorrow to annex the Essequibo area following a military action following a referendum, the Guyanese will be faced with a taste of their own medicine. The Venezuelans have been claiming the Essequibo area for decades, because they assume that during the colonial administration of the British - in what is now called Guyana - the aforementioned area was confiscated by the German Robert Hermann Schomburgk by drawing up false maps. . Venezuela was certainly no match for the British militarily at that period, so the area was added to Guyana. It must be clear that the British also wanted a so-called foothold on the mainland of South America. On our side too, the British have done everything they can to steal territory from the other colonizers in the North Sea. The fact that part of present-day Guyana also belonged to the colony of Suriname can still be deduced from the Dutch names in certain places. But it was the same Robert Hermann Schomburgk who ascended the Corentijn and also after this journey drew up a false map for the British, in which he indicated that the Coeroeni Cutari was the upper course of the Corantijn River. He had not seen the truly much larger stream of water that we call the Upper Corantijn. Later, upon further investigation by the British Barrington Brown, the Upper Corantijn - which he called the New River - turned out to be the real upper course, creating the so-called Tigri Delta, located between Coeroeni, Cutari, Upper Corantijn and the Acarai Mountains, without there was no doubt that it should be regarded as Surinamese territory. However, the British wanted nothing to do with Barrington Brown's findings. In 1969, before our political independence, President Forbes Burnham of Guyana, which became independent in 1966, decided to occupy the Tigri Delta by means of military force. As is known, the Netherlands, which still had to defend Suriname as a part of the empire, did not intervene. Due to this annexation and the violent actions of Guyana, Suriname still has a border dispute with that country, just like Venezuela has with the Guyanese over the Essequibo area. The Guyanese government is now screaming bloody murder and is seeking support all over the world against a possible Venezuelan attack to take over the area militarily, but Suriname should absolutely not side with Guyana when it comes to the Essequibo issue. Guyana has occupied part of our territory since 1969, and does everything if the area belongs to it. We may be part of the English-speaking club CARICOM, which immediately supported Guyana, but we have been robbed by the Guyanese for more than 54 years. They have taken our territory hostage with military force and we should not accept that for a moment and certainly should not side with them when it concerns the Essequibo issue between Venezuela and the Guyanese. The fact that the Venezuelans now want to take back the area, if necessary with the use of the much stronger Venezuelan army, of course has everything to do with the large oil and natural gas reserves that have been discovered off the coast of the aforementioned area. This border dispute could have enormous consequences for security in our area, which can be described as the Guyanas. An area that runs from the Orinoco to the Oyapock. It is understandable that Venezuela may wish to use military resources. Isn't that what the Guyanese did to us in 1969, when The Hague did everything it could to get the police unit out of the Tigri area and was under former officer Lapre. The Netherlands did not want to have trouble with NATO partner Great Britain, that was clear at the time. But we now live in the 21st century and must not forget that we have a Ukraine and a Gaza, where major powers commit actions that can cause changes within geopolitics, including on our continent, when business and major financial interests come into play. This is about oil, that's what it was about in Iraq too. We can always talk about green energy and electric cars, but oil is still of great and survival importance for most economies and that is why the Venezuelan-Guyanese border conflict can still cause a lot of trouble for all of us. And especially if world powers get involved. Is oil a blessing or a curse? Unfortunately, this will also be expressed or expressed in this region.

border towns of Venezuela and Guyana. Build bridges, highways and border crossings for the
socio-economic benefit of both nations.
Established in 1899 in France by colonial powers that did not included Venezuelan representatives. It’s lovely to romanticize everything in favor of the anglo-saxon world.

If the British planted settlers in Malvinas and then asked them and their descendants if they wanted to be part of the UK so can Venezuela ask the people if they want to take back what is rightfully theirs.
The people of Essequibo identify as Guyanese.
I'm assuming you're referring to the Venezuelan referendum. That is intended for VENEZUELAN CITIZENS IN VENEZUELA, not the people of Essequibo! That is completely different from that Malvinas claim you are making.
@@bradleywelch9290the jewish people of israel dont identify with palestine but the land was never originally israel either it doesn’t really belong to them. It’s a shame for guyana but the essequibo was originally venezuelan territory and there was injustice served Venezuela has always claimed the territory even after it was disputed before guyana even achieved independence
@@5GVCA The Venezuelan claim is that the 1899 court ruling was unjust and therefore nullified. I do not dispute that Venezuela claimed ownership of it before that and that Brittain claimed ownership as well.
From what I could tell, both parties had legitimate claim to Essequibo prior to 1899 if you look at it objectively. It all goes back to the Spanish recognizing the Dutch's sovereignty over settlements in Essequibo but not specifying a western border when they signed the "Peace of Münster" Under article 5 of it way before Venezuela gained its independence. As a result the Dutch expanded their settlements further west using the article that stated the land in which their settlements and trades occupied were recognized as Dutch to claim the territory. This was further ratified by the Treaty of Breda in 1667. They later transferred the land to Brittain.

The issue is the evidence backing this claim of nullification.
They forced Brittain into that arbitration with the help of America, they accepted the terms and results tho disappointed, they took part in enacting monuments to mark the borders, they had their maps changed to not include the territory before the memorandum was made public and they ratified the 1899 ruling.
What matters imo is the evidence to prove the 1899 rulings were void through the courts. Should the ICJ rule in favor of Venezuela, I unconditionally will support the decision as a means to avoid any kind of bloodshed. That is what peace is. To fully uphold and support just international law as well as its process; to question the process and rulings requires Sufficient evidence.
@@bradleywelch9290 In 1648 Spain signed the Peace of Münster with the Dutch Republic, whereby Spain recognised the Republic's independence and also small Dutch possessions located east of the Essequibo River, which had been founded by the Dutch Republic before it was recognised by Spain. However, a few decades after the Peace of Münster, the Dutch began to spread gradually west of the Essequibo River, inside the Spanish Guayana Province. These new settlements were regularly contested and destroyed by the Spanish authorities.
@@bradleywelch9290 So basically all the land west of the Essequibo river was spanish, the river was the barrier between the Spanish and Dutch, exactly the area Venezuela claims and for centuries had in its maps. But as you mentioned the Dutch settlers may have been ignorant about the limits or simply did not cared seeing the land was rich and devoided of any Spanish.

yes check History
Check history. In the 1499s it was spotted not discovered or explored by Spaniards. Your history probably didn't even teach you about the "wild coast" and the first Europeans to settle there, the Dutch.
@@007mooo6 study History EZ nub Easy kid Venezuela have 200+ History no Guyana
@@joelvijesus you should study history dutch guiana existed from 1600s, British Guiana from 1800s and guyana from 1966. Look at a map of dutch or British Guiana and you'll see Orinoco in it.
Even before the Venezuela map it was already occupied. Even before Europeans the 9 indigenous tribes were there.
You think it's a stolen land because you probably don't even know the Spanish explorations to see that they barely even explored Orinoco. While other Europeans manage to make it beyond Orinoco.

It's not your territory and you never inherited it from Spain since Spain didn't explore, discover or settle on essequibo. The Dutch were the first and from the Dutch it was handed over to britian

@@007mooo6 XD. Stop talking nonsense, the Dutch were subjects of Spain, the Dutch defined their border with Spain, the Dutch sold their part, not Spain's. England defined its border with Venezuela and then invaded Venezuelan territory. Start reading.
