| 2004-03-04 |
| Venezuelaâs ambassador to the United Nations said on Thursday he was resigning his post in protest at the policies of the government of President Hugo Chavez. Milos Alcalay told a news conference at UN headquarters that his key concerns throughout a 34-year diplomatic career were to promote democracy, human rights and a nonconfrontational foreign policy. âSadly, Venezuela now is operating devoid of these fundamental principles, which I still remain intensely committed to,â he said. |
