00:00 In the United Kingdom, the Vice President of Venezuela, Delsi Rodriguez, denounced before
00:05 the International Maritime Organization that the unilateral coercive measures and the blockade
00:10 on Venezuelan vessels affect international trade.
00:14 The Venezuelan Executive Vice President met in London with the Secretary General of the
00:18 International Maritime Organization, Arsenio Dominguez Velasco, where she stated that 39
00:25 vessels of the state-owned Petroleos de Venezuela and 30 of international trade are illegitimately
00:31 sanctioned.
00:32 Rodriguez pointed out that this is the fourth country in the world in terms of the number
00:37 of sanctioned vessels.
00:39 And particularly as Venezuela, I express our concern that the entire fleet of ships and
00:48 vessels that PDVSA has are illegitimately sanctioned.
00:52 They are blockaded.
00:53 There are only 39 PDVSA vessels, but also 30 international trade vessels that have been
00:59 sanctioned.
01:00 As you know, within this terrible policy of economic aggravation against Venezuela, we
01:04 are the fourth country with the highest number of blockade ships in the world.
01:09 It is really an embarrassing situation, and that's why we insist.
01:13 President Nicolás Maduro, with great courage, with great firmness, calling for the cessation
01:18 of this illegal and illegitimate blockade that has become a true economic genocide against
01:24 the Venezuelan people.
01:27 Executive Vice President Delcy Rodriguez explained the sanctions recognized by the United Nations
01:32 system and expressed her concern about the global climate emergency.
01:36 The international organizations are really helpless in the face of a blockade which violates
01:43 international law, because the only sanctions recognized by the United Nations systems are
01:49 the sanctions issued by the Security Council.
01:52 From a country unilaterally, extraterritorially, obviously it does not exist within the framework
01:58 of the law and the regulations, but we talk.
02:01 We express our concern about this situation.
02:04 Similarly, a very important issue that has to do with the global climate emergency, as
02:10 Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called it.
02:12 It is no longer an issue of climate crisis.
02:16 We are in a real climate emergency.
