America attacked Venezuela and arrested President Nicolas Maduro. Since this case, Donald Trump is in the news all over the world. Trump has alleged that Maduro did not take action against drugs. Following Trump’s order, American Special Forces entered and attacked Venezuela, but now the question is whether America can take action by entering another country in this manner. What is its foreign policy and what is the rule of the United Nations regarding this?
According to international law or the UN Charter, it is not legal to use force on any sovereign country or rather to attack it. Military action can be considered legitimate only under two circumstances. The first situation is self-defense. If a country is attacking another country then it can take action in self-defense. The second situation is regarding the permission of the United Nations. If the UN Security Council approves military action then action can be taken.
What does America’s foreign policy say?
According to the report published on the website of ‘Cornell Law School’ America’s foreign policy can attack another country under three circumstances.
- The first circumstance is that if there is an issue of national interest, such as civil security or a threat to the country, then it can attack.
- The second situation is that it can take action against any terrorist organization, even if the terrorists are in some other country.
- The third situation is that if some other country attacks America first then it can take action.
America cannot act arbitrarily
The important thing is that the United Nations does not allow America to act arbitrarily, but still it has been accused of this many times. America has many times taken action without the permission of the United Nations. The same was done in the case of Venezuela.
After Venezuela, which two countries is Trump eyeing?
After Venezuela, Trump now has an evil eye on Cuba and Denmark. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that Cuba is in a lot of trouble. Rubio declined to comment on future steps, saying the US administration has not been supportive of the Cuban government and supported Maduro. America has also warned Denmark. A statement was given from the US side regarding Greenland.
