The #UN #HumanRights chief said Friday that #US #military strikes against boats in the #Caribbean Sea & eastern #Pacific Ocean allegedly carrying illegal drugs from #SouthAmerica are “unacceptable” & must stop.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk called for an #investigation into the strikes, in what appeared to mark the first such condemnation of its kind from a United Nations organization.

Intentional use of lethal force is allowed only as a last resort against someone representing “an imminent threat to life,” she said. “Otherwise, it would amount to a violation of the right of life and constitute extrajudicial killings.”

The strikes are taking place “outside the context” of armed conflict or active hostilities, Shamdasani said.

She said Türk believed “airstrikes by the United States of America on boats in the Caribbean & in the Pacific violate international #HumanRights #law.”

…Shamdasani noted the US explanations of the efforts as an anti-drug & counter-terrorism campaign, but said countries have long agreed that the fight against illicit drug trafficking is a law-enforcement matter governed by “careful limits” placed on the use of lethal force.

Ravina Shamdasani, a spox for Türk’s office, relayed his message on Friday at a regular #UN briefing: “These attacks & their mounting human cost are unacceptable. The US must halt such attacks & take all measures necessary to prevent the extrajudicial killing of people aboard these boats.”
