UNILATERAL SANTIONS ON VENEZUELA AND ZIMBABWE --- There is no doubt that UNSC has mandated to carry out sanctions against states deemed to have created a threat to peace, but it has been overshadowed by the unilateral decisions which currently seen as the ridden in force towards advancing interests of powerful nations such as the US, UK and its allies in Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Although they have good intensions in creating democratic societies but they decisions have adverse effects on an innocent people. In 76th General Assembly, President Maduro called upon the support of the countries in removal of this illegal sanctions created by the US and the UK which seized and blocked Venezuela bank accounts with billions of dollars. In my view, if the US and the UK have genuine reasons against Venezuela and Zimbabwe, as the members of P5, they should tabled it in the UNSC and come up with the resolutions just like North Korea and Iran.
