“The Silence of President Christodoulides, International Law and Venezuela” by Dr. Kyriakos A. Kenevezos

Dr. Kyriakos A. Kenevezos analyzes the significance of silence in international politics, particularly when it concerns acts of raw power and violations of International Law. He argues that silence, rather than being neutral, is a political stance that indicates dependence and acceptance of power. He criticizes the subservience of states to stronger powers, as this does not lead to respect but to contempt and instrumentalization. Specifically, he focuses on the silence of President Christodoulides in the face of such actions, emphasizing that for a country based on International Law, avoiding a position is particularly harmful.
