What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy. “Force is only permissible in response to an armed attack, or possibly to rescue a population facing an imminent threat of extermination,” said Marc Weller, director of the international law program at Chatham House.
The administration has argued that American courts can hold foreign presidents accountable for crimes, while the U.S. president remains immune from similar scrutiny. If accountability applies only to other nations’ leaders, does that standard now suggest their leaders are more “qualified” than ours, especially given that our president has been convicted of 34 felonies?
