Legal experts are raising alarms over recent U.S. actions in Venezuela, calling them a potential breach of international law under the UN Charter. With tensions simmering in 2026, the debate centers on whether Washington’s maneuvers align with global legal standards prohibiting unilateral force.
Julian Davis Mortenson, a University of Michigan law professor, told CGTN that the UN Charter’s Article 2(4) strictly bans threats or use of force against sovereign states. “This isn’t just about politics—it’s about upholding the rules that keep our world stable,” he emphasized. The critique comes as global institutions face renewed pressure to address power imbalances in conflict zones.
While the U.S. has yet to issue an official response, the controversy highlights growing scrutiny of superpower accountability this year. For young activists and policy watchers, the case underscores why international law remains a hot topic in 2026’s geopolitics. 💥📜
