联合国专家谴责美在加勒比海“扫毒”：非法、威胁和平

Core Viewpoint - Recent actions by the United States in the Caribbean Sea, described as "anti-drug operations," are viewed by UN human rights experts as extrajudicial killings that violate international law and threaten regional peace and security [1][2]. Group 1: US Actions and International Response - The US has deployed multiple warships in the Caribbean under the pretext of combating drug trafficking, claiming to have sunk seven "drug boats" and killed at least 27 alleged traffickers since September [1]. - UN experts assert that even if the US's drug trafficking allegations are valid, the use of lethal force in international waters without legal justification constitutes extrajudicial killings and violates international maritime law [2]. - The experts emphasize that the US's planned secret operations against Venezuela and threats of military action severely breach the principles of the UN Charter, infringing on Venezuela's sovereignty and contravening the fundamental international obligation of non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations [2]. Group 2: Regional Reactions and Historical Context - Venezuela's Foreign Minister has accused the US of creating a fictitious enemy to justify its actions, labeling the US's operations as a "massacre" in the Caribbean [5]. - Several Latin American countries, including Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, and Bolivia, have expressed opposition and condemnation of the US's so-called "anti-drug" operations and its interference in the region [5].
