My latest together with @justinauriburu.bsky.social No love lost for Maduro, and no apologies made for his regime. But the attack on Venezuela was plainly illegal. States can either say so clearly, or parse their way into a law of boundless exceptions and self-judgment.

Otra cosa es acreditar hechos ante un tribunal.

Regarding United States Action in Venezuela

El tema clave en el juicio contra Nicolás Maduro es si goza de inmunidad como jefe de Estado. EEUU dice que no, dado que no reconoce su "legitimidad" (no lo hace Trump, tampoco lo hizo Biden). Hay un problema, sin embargo: EEUU parece reconocer a Delcy Rodríguez como presidenta.

“To be clear, the operations put the United States and Venezuela in armed conflict as a matter of fact and of law.” Excellent article - via @justsecurity.org www.justsecurity.org/127981/inter...
