[QUOTE="Holy Holliday !, post: 1422868, member: 13772"] Prowler does not understand the distinction between murder and "killing". He has also not provided a link to his quote about narrow specific circumstance. [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]..[/COLOR] However just as entertainment: The U.S. government's recent military strikes on suspected drug smuggling vessels in international waters, which have resulted in numerous deaths, are considered by independent UN experts and human rights organizations to be in violation of [B]international human rights law[/B], the [B]international law of the sea[/B], and potentially [B]U.S. domestic law[/B]. Key laws and principles that experts argue are being violated include: International Law [LIST] [*][B]Right to Life:[/B] Under international law, the use of lethal force is only permitted in personal self-defense or defense of others against an imminent threat to life. Since the individuals on the boats are generally considered criminal suspects (civilians) rather than combatants in an armed conflict, they should be arrested and prosecuted, not summarily killed. [*][B]International Law of the Sea (UNCLOS):[/B] This framework does not authorize unprovoked attacks on ships. While states have the right to stop, board, and search stateless vessels or those of other nations (with consent of the flag state) on the high seas under specific conditions (e.g., to suppress piracy or drug trafficking as per the 1988 UN Drug Convention), this is primarily for law enforcement purposes, and the use of force should be a last resort to effect an arrest, not for lethal strikes. [*][B]Prohibition of Extrajudicial Executions:[/B] The deliberate killing of criminal suspects without any legal process or trial is a grave violation of human rights and amounts to extrajudicial killings. [*][B]Law of Armed Conflict (if applicable):[/B] The U.S. administration has attempted to frame the actions as part of a war against "narco-terrorists". However, most experts argue that no such legally recognized armed conflict exists. Even if it were considered an armed conflict, the killing of incapacitated survivors who are "out of the fight" is considered a war crime. [/LIST] U.S. Domestic Law [LIST] [*][B]Lack of Congressional Authorization:[/B] The U.S. Constitution grants Congress the sole power to declare war and authorize the use of force. Congress has not authorized military force against the drug cartels, meaning the actions lack a clear domestic legal basis. [*][B]Federal Criminal Law:[/B] The intentional killing of another person without legal authority would be considered murder under U.S. criminal law. [*][B]Due Process:[/B] Suspected criminals are entitled to due process under U.S. law, which includes the right to arrest, trial, and legal safeguards. [/LIST] The position of the U.S. administration is that the cartels pose an "imminent threat" to national security,([COLOR=rgb(250, 197, 28)][B][I][SIZE=5]LoLz[/SIZE][/I][/B][/COLOR]) justifying the use of lethal military force as a form of self-defense, an interpretation that is widely disputed by international and legal experts.
