联合国特别报告员本·索尔发布报告称，自去年9月以来美国在加勒比海和太平洋地区实施的至少68次空袭可能违反国际法，构成反人类罪。1这些军事行动造成超过220人死亡。1美国南方司令部声称这些空袭针对积极参与贩毒的目标，并称其中一次行动击毙了四名贩毒恐怖分子。1
本·索尔在报告中指出，即使目标是指定恐怖组织成员，由于这些人员未对美国发动武装攻击，也不能触发美国的自卫权。1他总结认为，"有合理理由相信这68次报道的攻击造成的223人死亡构成习惯国际法下的反人类罪——谋杀罪"。1美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯声称此类行动旨在从美洲清除"贩毒恐怖分子"，并保护美国免受毒品威胁。1这次军事行动名为"南方枪矛行动"，于9月初启动。1
A United Nations special rapporteur has released a report alleging that at least 68 US airstrikes conducted in the Caribbean and Pacific regions since September of last year may violate international law and constitute crimes against humanity.1 The operations have resulted in over 220 deaths, with the report indicating that 223 people were killed.1 According to Ben Saul, the UN investigator, these strikes qualify as extrajudicial executions that lack legitimate justification under international law.1 Saul contended that even if the targets were designated terrorist organization members, the absence of an armed attack against the United States means the strikes do not trigger the right to self-defense.1
US Southern Command has defended the operations, stating that "confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking" and claiming that one particular operation "killed four narco-terrorists."1 The campaign, known as Operation Southern Spear, was initiated in early September.1 US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth characterized the objective as eliminating "narco-terrorists" from the Americas and protecting the United States from drug-related threats to American lives.1 However, Saul concluded that "there are reasonable grounds to believe that the reported 68 attacks that killed 223 people constituted crimes against humanity of murder under customary international law."1
