(Bloomberg) -- United Nations General Assembly President Dennis Francis said on Saturday that the UN was prepared to mediate in Venezuela to ease tension over last month’s controversial elections.
“The UN, I’m sure, would be willing, as we always are, if invited to help and support Venezuelan authorities and people to mediate between the players,” he said.
He told a news briefing in Guyana that Venezuelans would first have to decide whether they wanted the UN to resolve the dispute over the July 28 presidential election.
Francis appealed to Venezuelans to solve their problems “peacefully” through dialogue rather than risk their lives and bloodshed.
