  1. US military intervention in Venezuela violates UN Charter, opinion argues

    An opinion piece by a retired major general argues that a large-scale US military strike against Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolas Maduro violates Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, which prohibits the threat or use of force against another state's territorial integrity without UN Security Council authorization or self-defence justification. The author contends that while sitting heads of state enjoy immunity from foreign jurisdiction under international law, the US can still prosecute Maduro under domestic law via the Ker-Frisbie Doctrine if he is brought to American soil.

He contends the military action was justified by false pretexts about drug trafficking when the real motive is access to Venezuela's oil reserves, and warns that Namibia faces similar risks given its recent oil discoveries.
