3. This decision, the wishes and aspirations of our peoples are a noble contribution to World Peace, to international law and to the Charter of the United Nations.
Mr. President,

5. All Member States of the United Nations have the duty to respect International Law, the spirit, the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, the right to Sovereignty, self-determination, territorial integrity of States, non-interference and peaceful coexistence.
6. Venezuela’s People are the dignified people of Bolívar, of Chávez, of Maduro and historically indomitable who defend their sovereignty and their right to Peace. Nicaragua will always stand by Venezuela.
