U.S. military actions against Venezuela, going as far as forcibly taking the country’s president to U.S. soil, have sent shivers across the international community. Many are alarmed over a blatant violation of international law and wanton infringement of another nation’s sovereignty. Many analysts ask, when a bully openly tramples on the rules, how should the world respond? What can be done to prevent such thuggish acts in the future? On these and more, CGTN’s Tian Wei speaks to Danilo Türk, former Slovenian president and member of Club de Madrid. He used to serve as the UN assistant secretary general for Political Affairs when the Iraq war broke out.
