Venezuelan Ambassador to the UN Rafael Ramirez told reporters after a closed-door briefing that Venezuela is out of the Security Council agenda because it never will be a threat to peace and security at either international or regional level.

Calling the crisis a "domestic issue," Ramirez said they are responsible for their own people and they solve their own problems inside their legal framework.

The 15-member council held the informal meeting at the request of the US Ambassador to the UN, who believes that the Security Council needs to be watching the situation in Venezuela, which is "on the verge of a humanitarian crisis."
