President Donald Trump's 'large-scale strike' on Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolas Maduro have been condemned by international law experts as a clear violation of the UN Charter—but they say the US will face absolutely no consequences due to its veto power on the Security Council.
Multiple legal scholars spoke out Saturday following the operation, which saw Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, captured and indicted in New York on terrorism and drugs charges. Trump has accused Maduro of running a 'narco terrorist organisation', but experts say this claim cannot justify the invasion under international law.
