UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday described USairstrikes on boats suspected of involvement in smuggling operations in theCaribbean as violations of international law.
Guterres expressed his support for the position voiced by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk, who called the strikes“unacceptable,” urging an investigation into the incidents.
This marks the first condemnation of its kind issued by a UNbody.
Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for Turk’s office, saidduring a regular UN press briefing that the attacks and their escalating humantoll are unacceptable. “The United States must halt these operations and takeall necessary measures to prevent extrajudicial killings of individuals onboard these vessels,” she stated.
In September 2025, American forces conducted two strikes against whatit described as extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels andnarcoterrorists operating in international waters near Venezuela.
Tensions have spiked since August, when Trump deployednaval forces to the Caribbean to counter transnational trafficking. OnSeptember 3, he revealed an earlier strike on a separate vessel allegedlytransporting members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, killing 11.
