US strikes on alleged drug boats may constitute ‘crimes against humanity’, UN finds

The United Nations has concluded that a series of U.S. military strikes on vessels suspected of drug trafficking in the Pacific and Caribbean could amount to crimes against humanity. The analysis notes that, since September 2025, dozens of attacks have resulted in over 230 deaths. The UN report calls for accountability and further investigation by international bodies.
