In a statement, a group of UN experts demanded that the United States stop military operations against vessels in international waters in the Caribbean and Pacific, which they described as 'killings at sea'. [^1]

According to the UN's official website, since September 2, 2025, the US Army has attacked a total of 68 boats in high seas, with fatal outcomes in most cases and missing persons in others. [^5]

The UN experts called the deaths extrajudicial executions and said US authorities indicated they prefer not to intercept vessels but to use direct attacks, and that the US fails to rescue survivors. [^6]

The UN experts rejected Washington's legal justification that the vessels carried drugs for organizations considered terrorist under US law, saying the military response has no place in international law and violates the right to life. [^7]
