United States military actions against Venezuela: Will international criminal law be enforced? An explainer

The Trump administration claims to have targeted and struck “three boats” departing from Venezuela over the past few days. Professor Geoffrey Corn, member of CERL’s Advisory Council, spoke with the Washington Examiner about these strikes, noting that they lack legal justification.  

Geoffrey S. Corn is the George R. Killam, Jr. Chair of Criminal Law and Director of the Center for Military Law and Policy at Texas Tech University School of Law. A retired U.S. Army Judge Advocate Officer, he served as the Army’s senior law of war advisor. He is also a member of the CERL Advisory Council. Read his bio here.
