US attack on Venezuelan boat: What does the law say?
The US military attacked a Venezuelan boat in the Caribbean Sea on September 2. The White House claimed that the attack killed 11 drug traffickers from the notorious Tren de Aragua cartel and that the attack was aimed at preventing drugs from entering the United States. However, international law experts say that such a move could violate international human rights and maritime law. So the question arises: is the US attack on the Venezuelan boat legal or illegal?
