Haley said “peaceful protesters have been injured, arrested and even killed by their own government.” Britain’s UN Ambassador Matthew Rycroft warned that if things go wrong, Venezuela could “descend into conflict” and threaten international peace and security. He called Wednesday’s briefing by Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs Miroslav Jenca a first step in raising awareness in the council, which has been talking about conflict prevention.
