The military operation carried out in Libya by an international coalition that is headed to the United States, France and the United Kingdom refusals arouse more sympathy from the Governments of Latin America, traditionally advocates of non-interference and self-determination regardless of ideology. Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela have openly criticized the operation dubbed "Dawn Odyssey", Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Panama and Peru defend more or less force, Brazil has adopted a middle position such as Costa Rica and Honduras, and the rest is silent.
The operation is backed by a Security Council resolution in the UN, 1.973, adopted this month with ten votes in favor, one from Colombia, and five abstentions, including Brazil. For the president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, with that decision the Security Council shows that it is a "tyranny" and a "dictatorship" and makes it clear that the UN must "democratize." In a statement released today, Ortega described as "thugs" involved in the action which it considers is intended "to kill" his "brother" Moammar Gadhafi, despite the Libyan leader, he said, "is willing to dialogue.
" The U.S. president, Barack Obama, does not escape criticism of Ortega, who says that he is going to offer cooperation and partnership of equals during his current tour of Latin America, while its military forces "terrorize an entire people, an entire region. " Obama, who is now expected in El Salvador, the last country in a tour that has already happened in Brazil and Chile, is next to the Security Council the primary target for critics to air strikes against targets in Libya.
The Salvadoran government is among those who have not spoken about the operation, but that of Chile, by contrast, has given strong support. "Today the issue of democracy and human rights issue accepts no borders, that supports the resolution that Chile has taken the United Nations (in Libya)," said Chilean President Sebastián Piñera, in a press conference offered yesterday with Obama in Santiago.
The Brazilian government abstained in the vote on the resolution 1.973 in the Security Council, but, according to Foreign Ministry, this position "should in no way be interpreted" as an endorsement of the Libyan authorities or "as negligence" to the need to protect civilians. The Brazilian position, according to official spokesmen, is that there is no certainty that "the use of force" to take "immediate end to violence and provide protection of civilians." The case of Colombia is the clearest support for the operation against Gafafi.
His representative in the Security Council voted for the resolution and the president, Juan Manuel Santos said on Saturday that the Libyan regime had been "cheated" of that decision and therefore "there will be intervention." On the opposite side is the president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, who has called "unacceptable" actions undertaken by the coalition felt that exceed the resolution, which seeks to protect the civilian population Libyan offensive forces Muammar Gadhafi against the rebels in arms against his regime.
His Bolivian counterpart, Evo Morales, said, meanwhile, that the UN should be called the ONI for being an "organization of invading nations" and the Security Council, "Council of insecurity for the world's peoples." Morales also asked to be removed the Nobel Peace Prize to President of the United States.
War is "most timely" at a time when the world is touched by the tragedy of the earthquake in Japan and the nuclear accident, the consequences of climate change, the scarcity and food prices and the growth of military expenditures and waste of natural and human resources, wrote the Cuban president Fidel Castro in an article published Monday.
Venezuelan President also has the hands to the head by what he described as an "imperial madness" and the Argentine Foreign Minister, Hector Timerman, has questioned the military actions against Gadhafi's regime, arguing that when decided "not to exhaust diplomatic means available." The new Foreign Minister of Paraguay, Jorge Lara Castro, said today that the bombing of Libya "reflects the weakness of the United Nations" and that the Paraguayan government is in favor of "dominate the diplomatic negotiations." Although Costa Rican governments are governed by a principle of perpetual neutrality, the Foreign Ministry has said that Costa Rica is in addition to "actions for the protection of civilians in Libya and condemn the brutal aggression of Gadhafi's dictatorial regime against its own people" .
The Honduran Foreign Ministry acknowledged the "primary responsibility of all legitimate authority to protect civilians from attacks by the parties involved in an internal conflict." For now Guatemala, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic have established their position on military intervention in Libya.
For the president of Panama, Ricardo Martinelli, military attack allied troops in Libya is justified because Gadhafi has "butchered" their citizens. In Uruguay, President Jose Mujica took up the same day that began the attacks on Libya that it was something "unfortunate" and that gave him "want to mourn" because "the bombs to save lives is an inexplicable contradiction." Mexico's government called on the Libyan authorities "to immediately halt gross and massive violations of human rights of civilians" and noted that the resolution 1.973 shows the determination of the international community to resolve this crisis and ensure that the legitimate demands of civil society are respected.
In Peru, the first country to break diplomatic relations with Libya, President Alan Garcia has shown clearly in favor of imposing a no-fly zone and military intervention: "We'll see how soon the situation will change in favor of (...)", Democracy said.
