The Diplomatic War Against Venezuela

The Diplomatic War Against Venezuela
Long opposed to the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela, imperialist and right-wing governments – led by the United States – have resorted to various means to defeat the left-wing and socialist governments of the continent. Venezuela has consistently been targeted as a part of this war on popular democracy, with hostile diplomacy serving as a favored method of attack.

teleSUR takes a deeper look at the escalating diplomatic offensive against Venezuela through international bodies such as the Organization of American States and U.N.

The US' Historic Domination of the OAS: An Interview with Grace Livingstone

Grace Livingstone on the Historic U.S. Domination of the OAS

In 2015, teleSUR interviewed Grace Livingstone, author of "America's Backyard: The United States and Latin America from the Monroe Doctrine to the War on Terror," to explore whether the Organization of American States can ever become more representative of the needs of the 900 million citizens in the Americas it claims to represent. It has a checkered past: the late Cuban leader Fidel Castro labeled it the “Trojan horse” of U.S. foreign policy, and not only did it kick out Cuba soon after its revolution, but right-wing dictators remained in the body, despite disappearing and killing tens of thousands.

A Timeline of the Organization of American States

IN PICTURES: The Organization of American States was officially born in April 1948, but its origins can be traced back much further. The true start of efforts to unite the region was not U.S. diplomacy, but the approach taken by Latin American liberator Simon Bolivar, whose vision of Hispano-Americanism endures today.
