US anti-drug boat campaign in Pacific/Caribbean linked to 227 rights violations

A year into the US military's bombing campaign against alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Pacific and Caribbean, at least 227 rights violations have been documented. The operations, which have drawn criticism for civilian casualties and due-process concerns, continue despite limited corroboration of the violations. This marks a sustained pattern of extrajudicial action in maritime counter-narcotics, raising legal and diplomatic risks.
