"Nicolas Maduro Guerra, the son of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and a deputy of the United Socialist Party (PSUV), has proposed carrying out a global campaign to international bodies to achieve the release of his father, who was captured by US forces on January 3. On Friday, at a meeting of the Venezuelan Network of Jurists in Caracas to discuss the release of President Maduro and Cilia Flores, Maduro Guerra proposed the signing of a consensus document and its presentation to international bodies. In addition, he suggested the creation of commissions in support of the release of both. "From here today we must leave with a consensus document, signed by each one of us, and that independently we go to all international bodies in the world, in Venezuela and in the world, and form commissions from here and ask for help so that we go to all [international bodies] (...) to the parliaments of the world," Maduro Guerra said. He added that the document should be presented under the title 'The lawyers of Venezuela denounce the aggression and the kidnapping of the head of state', with the objective of denouncing what he considers an illegitimate detention by US forces. The son of the Venezuelan president maintained that his father, together with Cilia Flores, is 'the global symbol of resistance, of loyalty, of bravery'. and added that US forces "had to come with a disproportionate force, because he was not sold; he did not surrender." Maduro Guerra also denounced that international law 'is agonising' and said that the 'post-1945 balances have been broken', which he stated as a 'duty of Venezuela and of this movement (...) to raise its voice in favour of peace'. For his part, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Yvan Gil, criticised the capture of Nicolas Maduro, arguing that it threatens 'the world order'. "There is no valid argument that supports the thesis of being able to carry out a kidnapping of a head of state, because we would be talking about the destruction of one of the basic elements to sustain the world order," Yvan Gil explained. In his turn, the Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, assured that the operation to detain Maduro violated the Constitution of the United States because, he said, it 'limits the powers' of the North American president to declare acts of war without approval of Congress. The operation to capture Nicolas Maduro included attacks in Caracas and three states near the capital, leaving a toll of 100 dead and a similar number of injured, according to the Venezuelan Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace, Diosdado Cabello."
