Three Legal Fault Lines in U.S. Actions Toward Venezuela

The Conversation piece by Mary Ellen O’Connell argues that U.S. actions in Venezuela—from Sept. 2025 attacks to the Jan. 3, 2026 Caracas raids—violate international law in three major areas: (1) the prohibition on the use of force under the UN Charter absent Security Council authorization or self-defense; (2) immunity of a sitting head of state from foreign prosecutions; and (3) interference with Venezuela’s sovereignty and its permanent rights over natural resources, with broad implications for international trust in the United States.

"International Coalition Issues Joint Statement on Global Security"

The US and UK, with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands, conducted strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen in response to ongoing Houthi attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and surrounding areas. The strikes aimed to disrupt Houthi capabilities while avoiding escalation, in line with the UN Charter. The joint statement condemns the attacks, demands their end, and emphasizes that those supplying the Houthis are violating international law. The international response demonstrates a shared commitment to upholding navigational rights and defending mariners from unjustifiable attacks.

Lavrov faces criticism over Russia's actions at UN and US tensions.

The US and Western allies criticized Russia for its ongoing war in Ukraine and accused Moscow of violating the UN Charter during a Security Council meeting chaired by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Lavrov defended Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine and blamed the US for exacerbating geopolitical challenges around the world. The conflict has caused massive suffering and devastation to Ukraine and its people, and tensions between major powers are at a historic high. The UN Secretary-General called for the extension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, and Japan's envoy demanded an immediate withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.
