Panama administration accuses Trump of violating UN Charter with remarks on canal
Panamanian President Calls Out Trump for Violating UN Charter
Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino recently took a stand against US President Donald Trump’s statements regarding the Panama Canal, citing violations of the United Nations Charter. Mulino wrote a letter to the United Nations Security Council and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, highlighting the articles of the UN Charter that prohibit the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of member states.
Trump had previously made remarks about “taking back the Panama Canal”, implying that China currently operates the canal. In response, Mulino asserted that the Panama Canal belongs to Panama and will remain so, emphasizing that such actions constitute a violation of the UN Charter.
The Panamanian leader’s firm stance reflects a commitment to upholding international agreements and ensuring the sovereignty of his country. As tensions escalate between the US and Panama over the Panama Canal, Mulino’s letter serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of respecting the principles and values of the United Nations.
