The shyt is that we hit the fan.
The recent U.S. military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro is widely considered by international law experts and many global leaders to be a violation of international law. The action has been described as an unlawful use of force and a breach of Venezuelan sovereignty.
Key points regarding the international law perspective:While U.S. officials framed the action primarily as a law enforcement operation to execute an arrest warrant for Maduro on drug and terrorism charges, international legal scholars maintain that law enforcement objectives do not provide a legal basis for an armed incursion into a sovereign nation.
- UN Charter Violation: Experts argue the operation violates Article 2(4) of the UN Charter which prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.
- Lack of Justification: The only permissible circumstances for using force under international law without UN Security Council authorization are self-defense against an armed attack, which was not the case here, or with the consent of the host nation. The U.S. has not claimed self-defense in this instance.
- Crime of Aggression: The action is considered by some to be a "crime of aggression" under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
- Sovereignty Infringement: The incursion into Venezuelan territory without its government's consent is viewed as a textbook violation of foreign sovereignty.
- International Condemnation: The UN Secretary-General expressed deep alarm, while countries like China, Russia, and Mexico have strongly condemned the action as a breach of international norms and "hegemonic behavior".
like I told the wife, no matter if it's the U.S., Russia, China, etc...,whoever is on the other side will admonish, run to the U.N. and bleat until the offending country is condemned, sanctioned, etc...
and the offending country's answer? "meh! Oh well!"
