EU leaders have 'closely monitored' the 'developments' in Venezuela as of late, expressing their worry for the international order, but failed short of anything else save for a few exceptions. While we certainly should not support Nicolas Maduro's corrupt and repressive quasi-dictatorship, this kind of unilateral action that defies what was left of the international order must also be openly rejected: for its form, its motives, and if nothing else, for the additional dangerous precedent it settles, legitimising open anarchy in the international order.
