The universal view of experts, @becingber.bsky.social explains, is that the Trump administration's killings at sea are murder under domestic law, extrajudicial killings under international law, and given their systematic nature, may well be crimes against humanity.

The war with Iran is expanding to new fronts. @bcfinucane.bsky.social and I explore a longstanding tension between the traditional law of naval warfare and the UN Charter. -- Historically largely theoretical, but recent attacks on vessels flagged to third states are bringing it to a boiling point.

With Friday strike, over 200 people killed by US military in alleged drug boat strikes. Overwhelming consensus of experts, myself included, assess these to be murder because no armed conflict (and war crime if it were armed conflict). 200 killed also raises serious question: crime against humanity
