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.

Oona A. Hathaway and Scott J. Shapiro warn that Trump’s presidency has attacked the postwar international legal order by undermining universal norms, sanctioning international courts, breaching trade and UN obligations, and endorsing unilateral force. They point to the Venezuela operation that kidnapped Maduro as a stark example of how legal constraints are being discarded. If this trend continues, the world risks a ruleless order where power—not law—defines rights, leading to greater instability and conflict.

Trump Justifies ICE Shooting by Labeling Renee Good Disrespectful

President Trump defended the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent, suggesting her “highly disrespectful” attitude toward law enforcement helped justify the deadly force; White House officials have offered competing narratives on self-defense while critics argue that disrespect does not warrant lethal action and warn about the broader implications for ICE tactics and protest rights.
