On October 31, local time, the United Nations issued a statement regarding the military operations of the U.S. government in the Caribbean and Pacific regions, calling on the United States to cease attacks on so-called "drug-related vessels" in this area. Michelle Bachelet, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, stated in the declaration that the loss of human life caused by U.S. military actions is becoming increasingly serious, constituting "extrajudicial executions," and that the death of these individuals "has no justification under international law," which is unacceptable. The United States must end such attacks and take all necessary measures to prevent the extrajudicial executions of individuals on board, regardless of the crime they are suspected of. The statement calls for a prompt, independent, and transparent investigation into these attacks.
