The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights stressed in a statement: US airstrikes on boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific violate international human rights law and have no legal justification.
Yesterday, the US military attacked another boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean that it claims was smuggling drugs, killing four people.
The attack brought the death toll in Washington’s alleged anti-drug campaign in the Caribbean to at least 62, according to US Secretary of War Pete Hegsett.
The attacks began in early September and, according to experts, amount to extrajudicial killings, even if they target known traffickers, and Washington has yet to provide any evidence to support its claim about the boats, which Venezuela has called fishing boats. Last night’s deadly attack came two days after multiple attacks on four boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean that left 14 people dead.
