UPDATE 🚨 In an Unprecedented Decision, the United Nations Suspends the United States Under Article 5 After Condemning President Donald Trump’s Unilateral Military Action in Venezuela and the Capture of President Nicolás Maduro

UN Suspends United States Under Article 5 Following Condemnation of Trump’s Venezuela Military Action

New York — In an unprecedented and historic move, the United Nations has voted to suspend the United States from certain rights and privileges of membership under Article 5 of the UN Charter, following its formal condemnation of former President Donald Trump’s unilateral military actions in Venezuela and the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

The decision, approved by the UN General Assembly after a recommendation from the Security Council, marks the first time the United States—a founding member of the United Nations—has faced suspension under Article 5. The provision allows for suspension when a member state is subject to enforcement action for actions deemed inconsistent with the principles of the UN Charter.

Basis for the Suspension

According to UN officials, the suspension was based on findings that the U.S. military operation in Venezuela violated the principles of state sovereignty, non-intervention, and collective security. The operation, carried out without authorization from the Security Council or consultation with Congress, culminated in the detention of Venezuela’s sitting president, Nicolás Maduro.

In a strongly worded resolution, the General Assembly stated that the actions “undermined the international legal order and set a dangerous precedent for unilateral use of force.”
