After a large-scale strike in Venezuela, US troops captured the President along with his wife, accusing them of running a 'narco terrorist organisation'. International Law:The incident not only violates international law but also goes against the very spirit of the UN Charter. Though the strike exceeded the limits of law enforcement action, even if it had remained within the scope of law enforcement action, US operations on Venezuelan soil without its permission would still violate international law. But many countries and legal experts don't recognize the unilateral humanitarian intervention (intervention without UN approval) as lawful under international law. Violating international law to uphold it might set a precedent that is contrary to its principles.
