"US not entitled to use lethal force against Venezuelan vessels"
"Quotable Brian Finucane from the International Crisis Group talks about another US military strike on Venezuelan boats and the legality of such actions."
The United States lacks entitlement to use lethal force against Venezuelan vessels without a clear legal basis such as self-defense or United Nations authorization. Use of force at sea must meet necessity and proportionality requirements under international law and be predicated on an imminent threat or lawful mandate. Unjustified strikes risk violating sovereignty, maritime law, and established norms governing armed conflict. Such actions can escalate regional tensions, undermine stability in the Caribbean and Latin America, and produce diplomatic and legal consequences unless operational justifications are transparent and legally sound.
