Hey fam 🌍, big news from the United Nations! On Friday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres backed a call from the UN human rights chief to tell the US to pause air strikes on boats cruising the Caribbean and the Pacific. 🚫💥
According to the UN, over 60 people have been killed in these operations since early September. The actions, which target suspected organized crime or drug trafficking, “find no justification in international law,” said Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric added that any operation must stick to international standards on the use of force and protect human lives. Instead of just more strikes, the UN is pushing for collaboration across borders and smart policies that tackle root causes like poverty, addiction, and crime. 🤝🔍
