Regional group votes to recognise opposition leader Juan Guaido's envoy as country's delegate in blow to Nicolas Maduro. Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries on Wednesday were divided in their vote for an Organization of American States (OAS) resolution affirming humanitarian assistance to Venezuela. Dominica and Grenada were absent, the OAS said. Meantime, the OAS’s general secretariat on Thursday rejected what it described as “the uninformed comments of government spokespeople of the Russian Federation, who maliciously disqualify this organization in order to justify the recent and illegal Russian military incursion into Venezuelan territory. Overall, it said 19 countries voted in favor of the resolution, five voted against it, eight abstained, and two were absent. Maduro announced Venezuela’s withdrawal from the OAS in 2017 and has accused the Washington-based group of being a U.S. pawn. The OAS General Assembly meets in a Special Session to approve the Program-Budget. Bolivia, Mexico and Nicaragua have expressed dismay at the opposition’s presence. At that meeting the establishment of the International Union of American Republics was approved.

MEDELLIN, Colombia (Reuters) - Members of the Organization of American States (OAS) ended two days of meetings on Friday without a clear plan for increasing pressure on embattled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, despite a majority vote to recognize a representative from the country’s opposition. Despite OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro’s insistent attempts to push for Venezuela’s expulsion, member-states expressed mixed opinions regarding the application of the regional body’s Democratic Charter against the South American country, and the session ended without a vote. The Organization of American States (OAS) on Tuesday passed a resolution to call an extraordinary assembly to vote on suspending Venezuela from the 34-member group after … Consistent with that purpose, the statement noted that Article 2 of the OAS Charter also says that the organization must “achieve an effective limitation of conventional weapons” in the region, as well as “promote and consolidate representative democracy.”. Other countries which voted in favor of the resolution were Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, United States, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Dominican Republic. The select Caribbean leaders comprised Jamaica’s Andrew Holness, Bahamas’s Hubert Minnis, St. Lucia’s Allen Chastanet, Haiti’s Jovenel Moise and Dominican Republic’s Danilo Medina. “Most people recognize the need for new elections. “The president will use this meeting as an opportunity to thank these countries for their support for peace and democracy in Venezuela,” said the White House in a statement ahead of the meeting. In January, Guaido invoked the constitution to assume an interim presidency. The Organization of American States (OAS) is the world's oldest regional organization, dating back to the First International Conference of American States, held in Washington, D.C., from October 1889 to April 1890. “The general secretariat wishes to recall that the OAS is a regional organization whose core competency is to ensure peace and security in the region,” the OAS statement said. The General Secretariat has provided a series of options for funding it. “The general secretariat, therefore, reiterates its unequivocal rejection of the presence of Russian military personnel and military transport in Venezuelan territory for lacking the constitutionally required authorization of the National Assembly,” it added. “The world remains divided on that,” he, however, added.
