The
Lima Group issued a statement on the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela exhorting the UN Secretary-General, the General Assembly, and the Security Council to take action to avoid the progressive deterioration of peace and security in said country.
In this sense, the regional bloc stressed the need to provide urgent humanitarian aid to the population and
migrants from Venezuela.
Likewise, the group agreed to request the 49th OAS General Assembly —to be held in Medellin (Colombia)— to address the situation in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in a comprehensive manner and to adopt measures foreseen in the Inter-American System.
Likewise, they agreed to convene, in Lima, an "International Conference for Democracy in Venezuela" with all States supporting the country's democratic recovery.
The Governments of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela, members of the Lima Group, signed the document.
