Today’s military action by the US Trump Administration in Venezuela, which resulted in the capture of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, raises grave concerns for the human rights of the Venezuelan population. It most likely constitutes a violation of international law, including

Don’t be fooled: you can’t both claim this was simply the execution of an arrest warrant AND say the U.S. is now "running" Venezuela & grabbing its oil resources. Trump just admitted this was a clear regime-change play to enrich U.S. oil companies & his billionaire buddies.

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies. Full statement below:

IDF database suggests 83% of Gaza dead were civilians, contradicting by a huge margin Israel claims of a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of civilian to militant casualties. Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has killed civilians at a rate with few parallels in modern warfare.

Classified intelligence reveals Israel killed 8,900 militants by May, indicating an almost unparalleled proportion of civilian slaughter.

Another outrageous action. The Netanyahu govt is banning over 30 aid orgs — including CARE, Mercy Corps & Doctors Without Borders groups — from providing life-saving aid to people in Gaza.  Another betrayal of humanity. And, once again, the Trump Admin says and does nothing.

.@eu_echo Commissioner @hadjalahbib is absolutely right: IHL is clear. Palestinians have the right to request and receive humanitarian relief, and impartial humanitarian organizations, such as INGOs, have a corollary right to provide, unimpeded by Israel, the Occupying Power.

Israel’s plans to block INGOs in Gaza means blocking life-saving aid. The EU has been clear: the NGO registration law can not be implemented in its current form. All barriers to humanitarian access must be lifted. IHL leaves no room for doubt: aid must reach those in need.

Less than 24 hours after the meeting between Trump and Netanyahu, Israel suspends most international humanitarian organisations working in Gaza. Independent Humanitarian Aid is ending. Israel’s genocide continues.
