Original: UN Official Says U.S. Drug-Boat Strikes May Be Crimes Against Humanity
A United Nations official has said that US strikes on boats suspected of drug trafficking may amount to crimes against humanity. The assessment raises questions about the legality of the operations, which have killed alleged traffickers at sea without traditional arrest or trial. Human rights advocates are pressing for accountability and scrutiny of Washington's counter-narcotics campaign.
Why now: Recent US military strikes on suspected drug boats have drawn intense international legal and human rights scrutiny.
