CARACAS, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- Venezuela's National Assembly on Thursday approved a resolution honoring about 100 people killed during last weekend's U.S. military attack.
Ruling-party lawmaker Blanca Eekhout, who introduced the measure, called the victims "patriots" and said the tribute seeks to preserve their memory.
The plan includes building a memorial at the site of the attack and creating a commission to support victims' families.
Lawmakers also urged foreign governments and parliaments to reject the use of force and defend international law and national sovereignty.
U.S. forces struck several locations across Venezuela on Saturday, including Caracas, and captured President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores.
Authorities say the attack killed Venezuelan and Cuban military personnel stationed in the country.
