Reacting to the US attack on Venezuela’s capital, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor termed the development a momentous and troubling event with far-reaching consequences. Speaking in Wayanad, Kerala, Tharoor said the capture of the president of a sovereign UN member state is highly unusual and reflects a shift in how international norms are being observed. He noted that principles of international law and the UN Charter are increasingly being sidelined, giving way to a “might is right” approach in global affairs. Tharoor warned that such trends carry serious implications for countries worldwide, adding that nations may now be compelled to recalibrate their diplomatic strategies in response to the changing global order.
