Would you say that peace changed as when you were a child and hoe you are right now? As a citizen of the United States, I have seen so many wars. I was born and grew up during the Vietnam War. This was a pointless war fought for no good reasons. My father was drafted and sent to Vietnam, as were many of his friends. My stepfather fought in the Korean War, which was another war fought for no good reason. I have been involved in peace protests before several wars the US has been in since--both Iraq Wars, for example, which were unnecessary. I think peace has increased since WW2, but there are always wars happening and usually they are not necessary. But they are profitable for some, and that is why they happen. I think there is definitely a very strong peace movement around the world. Unfortunately huge protests and organized actions against war have yet to stop them from happening, but people are definitely tired of war.

What were your thoughts when the dictatorship started to increase? Is this question about Venezuela? I assume yes. I was concerned when the economy of Venezuela went into a tailspin when oil prices fluctuated. I know the USA has supported many terrible right-wing dictatorships in South and Central America because they allow foreign companies to exploit local labor and resources, when left-wing dictatorships tend to nationalize their resources and keep foreigners out. So I was concerned that Maduro's failings as a leader and the economic crash would result in the US trying to take advantage of the situation to destabilize the regime by inflicting sanctions on the country that would hurt the poor and working people there, and that the US would try to start a war to overthrow the regime.

Did you think that children using guns is correct? Children should have access to guns in very limited circumstances. Rural families with a tradition of hunting for food should be allowed to train their children in the safe handling of guns and their use. Otherwise guns should not be allowed for children. In the USA I am from Baltimore and many young people are murdered by children with guns or teenagers with guns. The police kill many young people they think MIGHT have a gun. I lost several middle school students to gun violence. I don't want children to use guns.

Do you think that Nito Cortizo is going to achieve his goal to make peace in Panama? I wish him success as he tries. It is not easy to accomplish. Rich, powerful countries like the USA have a challenge with gangs and gun violence. I hope Mr. Cortizo follows Japanese, European or Canadian style approaches and policies which are more successful than the USA policies about guns and violence.

If you could travel to Venezuela when the dictatorship wasn't there would you stand up for your country? If I was a Venezuelan citizen and I thought there was going to be a civil war or a fight about the future of the country I would go back and take a side. If that happens in the USA I would return there and fight for the side I thought was right.

What do you think is a good way to help Venezuela? Remove the sanctions and embargoes and allow Venezuela to trade for medicines and needed supplies. Help them diversify their economy with training and modernization programs funded through the UN. Give them funding so they can provide health care and education services that were very successful before but which the oil prices have harmed. Negotiate a non-aggression pact with the USA and open trading regionally to exports from Venezuela. Make sure that there are free and fair elections and that all candidates have an opportunity to compete and that voters are not threatened about their choices.

Do you think that if we make peace a law people would follow it? Many would follow, but many would not. Too many people think that violence and conflict are the best ways to prove how tough they are and that is how you win arguments or change things.

If you lived in South Africa would you let your kids protect themself with weapons or guns? In Baltimore I had students who carried knives or guns to school because they walked in very dangerous neighborhoods. I think it is sad to say but yes, sometimes this is necessary. I would make sure they had proper training in how to avoid using weapons if at all possible, and how to use them safely if they needed to.

Do you support children and shooting? I support children, but I do not support shooting. I do not support children shooting except in the circumstances I mentioned above.

"Millions cannot afford the bare minimum of food, water, and health care", the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs continued, adding that "the situation continues to deteriorate".

Most Venezuelans have been affected by a years-long political and economic crisis in what was formerly Latin America's wealthiest nation, leading to a major shrinking of the economy, fueled by hyperinflation.

Around 4.5 million have left the country, the vast majority to other nations in the region, marking the largest exodus in South American history, according to UN figures: "Too many people are risking perilous journeys every day, facing sexual exploitation, trafficking and abuse", said Mr. Lowcock.

"I have seen myself how the health system is on the verge of collapse with many hospitals lacking the most basic water and electricity infrastructure...Hospital patients, many of whom are already critically ill, are at high risk of losing their lives from new infections they are acquiring while they are in hospital, because basic cleaning and disinfection cannot be done".

And a lack of medicines and medical care workers only exacerbates the situation, added the UN relief chief.

"Preventable diseases, including malaria and diphtheria are back with a vengeance", he said, citing people with chronic health conditions, pregnant and nursing women, infants and those living with disabilities as being "among the most vulnerable".

Having visited Jose Gregorio Hernandez hospital, the UN official learned that medicines are scarce; power outages mean that only one-fifth of the hospital has electricity; and water runs only two days a week, often through rusty and broken pipes oozing a "filthy stench that lingers throughout".

"Some hospital workers, I was told, spend more than their monthly salary just getting to work", he asserted.
Aid assistance

During meetings with senior Government officials and members of the National Assembly, he observed that despite the political divisions, there was "a common will to address the humanitarian situation", with both endorsing the Humanitarian Response Plan developed this year by the UN and partners to address the most dire needs of Venezuelans.

Underscoring that "only a political solution can end the suffering", Mr. Lowcock said that in the meantime, the UN "will continue to provide humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable in accordance with our principles of impartiality, independence and neutrality".

"I have received firm commitments that the implementation of the plan will be supported, to the benefit of vulnerable Venezuelans across the country", he affirmed. "All parties must respect our principled humanitarian approach and not manipulate the needs-based assistance".

Stressing that "human suffering is not a political weapon", he said continued monitoring of assistance delivery would safeguard its transparency "in accordance with independent assessments".

Funding shortfall

Mr. Lowcock thanked those who have contributed financial resources for UN-supported humanitarian activities, noting that more than $155 million has been received this year. But he said the $223 million Humanitarian Response Plan "remains under-resourced and the biggest constraint to delivering humanitarian assistance remains funding".

"Everyone needs to do more", he maintained, pointing out that next month provisional plans for the UN-supported humanitarian response in Venezuela next year is due to be published. "Substantially more financial resources will be needed, and we will seek additional funding from donors".

"We will need to find a way to unlock Venezuelan resources to contribute more to humanitarian action" and "place a greater priority on reducing the immediate suffering of the people of this country", he concluded.

A country that I saw that they were going to get rid of guns for children was Africa because Africa is the #1 country that children use weapons but that might take awhile because the UN estimated that the situation might end in 2020 but since COVID-19 came in to our way, it might take another year or 2.

I can connect this to WWII because, Germany wanted to rule over Europe with guns and violence for his first move but England wanted to have peace and not use violence

The UN agreed that those countries will make a law or agree that children will certainly not use weapons.
