The answer lies in the balance of support for the Maduro government. While reportedly about 50 governments do not, 120 NAM governments showed their support with their presence and joint declaration in Caracas in July.
The Maduro government seems to show a better understanding of the world order, the role of the UN and the mustering of public support. This spells failure of the US blockade as it did in the case of Cuba, at least politically. Caracas is still in control. It has not only denounced the White House executive order, calling it "economic and political terrorism," illegal according the UN Charter, but it is also making a direct appeal to the UN. As we write, a campaign to collect signatures for a "Letter from Venezuelans to the Secretary General of the United Nations" is underway. All world supporters are invited to sign as well.
