根据9月21日发布的一份报告,一名联合国人权专家得出结论,美国在加勒比海和太平洋对涉嫌贩毒船只实施的军事打击违反国际法,可能构成危害人类罪。联合国人权与反恐问题特别报告员本·索尔发现,2025年9月至2026年8月期间,美国在国际水域打击了68艘船只,造成至少223人死亡。
报告认为,这些杀戮符合作为危害人类罪的谋杀的法律定义,因为它们是根据一项针对大量受害者的有组织国家政策系统性实施的。索尔呼吁美国调查这些杀戮事件,起诉责任人,包括下令实施打击的政治和军事领导人,并向受害者家属提供赔偿。
美国方面则辩称,这些打击是针对贩毒恐怖组织的自卫行为。特朗普总统曾告诉国会,这些行动反映了与被列为恐怖组织的团伙之间存在武装冲突的状态,但五角大楼几乎没有公开证据证明遇难者与贩毒有关。
