Caracas, Venezuela (HRNW)- A recent US military operation in Venezuela has drawn serious criticism from human rights organizations and the United Nations. The operation reportedly resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, triggering fears of potential human rights violations during the transition period.
Amnesty International has expressed deep concern over the risks this intervention poses to international law, warning that civilians could be exposed to harm amid political and military uncertainty. Experts note that the situation highlights the fragility of protections for basic rights in countries experiencing political upheaval.
The UN and several international actors have called for restraint and multilateral dialogue, emphasizing that upholding sovereignty and human rights must remain a priority, even during high-stakes operations. Analysts suggest that failure to adhere to these principles could set a troubling precedent for future interventions worldwide.
