00:00 The International Civil Aviation Organization accepted the complaint filed by Venezuela
00:05 against Argentina after verifying its violations of the Chicago Convention regarding the hijacking
00:11 and subsequent destruction of the Emtrasur plane. The organization notified the members of the
00:16 Council of the receipt of the complaint after verifying its compliance with Article 2 of the
00:21 Chicago Convention. The claim made by Venezuela alleged that since June 8, 2022, the Republic
00:28 of Argentina has committed violations of several articles through the application of unilateral
00:33 restrictive measures that are unlawful and discriminatory against the Bolivarian Republic
00:39 of Venezuela. Venezuela also alleged that such violations occurred in the context of the
00:44 inconvenience suffered by non-scheduled flights belonging to the Conviasa Consortium and leased
00:50 by it to the transport company Emtrasur. In an exclusive interview for our multiplatform
01:01 from the south, the Venezuelan Minister of Transportation, Ramon Velasquez,
01:05 referred to the complaint filed by Venezuela before the International Civil Aviation Organization
01:10 (OACI) against Argentina for the hijacking of the Emtrasur plane owned by Venezuela.
01:20 It is notorious and public that there has been a violation of all international regulations
01:25 and bilateral agreements signed by Argentina and Venezuela as signatory members of the ICAO.
01:32 We are members of the 193 countries belonging to the ICAO since 1944, and now, it is of great
01:40 importance what Venezuela is promoting through this demand, which has reached the ICAO consensus,
01:46 as a mechanism to evaluate all the conditions generated, all the transgressions that have
01:51 been generated, mainly to reach an international consensus that these conducts cannot be repeated,
01:57 since they violate international law and even violate the sovereignty of states.
