Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Colombia's Foreign Ministry accused the United States of violating international law after Washington revoked the visa of President Gustavo Petro.
The U.S. government announced the move after Petro urged U.S. troops to disobey orders during a pro-Palestinian rally in New York on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly last week.
Colombia's Foreign Ministry, in a statement, said a Trump administration resolution was used as a "diplomatic weapon," which it argued violated the spirit of the 1945 United Nations Charter.
That charter guarantees "on-site participation, with the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, without regard to borders."
