Legal Expert: US Intervention in Venezuela is "Against International Law"

An international law attorney states that recent US actions toward Venezuela violate core principles of global law. Clara Gérard-Rodriguez argues that only the Venezuelan people can decide their country’s future. She says this is true regardless of any alleged crimes by President Nicolás Maduro or questions about his election. Her comments directly address an operation launched by the administration of former US President Donald Trump. The nature of this operation was not specified. The attorney's position is clear: no justification exists for foreign intervention. This foundational principle, she argues, protects national sovereignty in contemporary international law.
