Statement by OAS Secretary General Albert R. Ramdin on recent developments in Venezuela
January 3, 2026
I am following closely the rapidly evolving situation in Venezuela. Today, I have spoken with several governments of OAS Member States, and I recognize both the depth of concern and the differing perspectives across the Hemisphere.
As details continue to emerge, the priority of the OAS General Secretariat is to help prevent further escalation and to support a peaceful way forward. Whatever the circumstances, all actors must fully respect international law and the applicable inter-American legal framework, including the peaceful settlement of disputes, respect for human rights, and the protection of civilian life and critical infrastructure.
It is also essential that Venezuela’s path forward be grounded in governance based on the will of its people. Existing institutional arrangements—including the country’s constitutional order—provide an important basis on which to build. Sustainable stability and democratic legitimacy can only be achieved through peaceful means, inclusive dialogue, and strong institutions.
The OAS General Secretariat stands ready to assist efforts toward de-escalation and a peaceful, democratic, and sustainable solution to the benefit of the Venezuelan people.
I call on all Venezuelan actors to act with unity of purpose and to play a constructive role in safeguarding peace, the rule of law, and democratic coexistence.
To ensure Member States can address this situation openly, collectively, and constructively, a meeting of the Permanent Council will be convened to discuss the recent developments and consider next steps.
