The Trump administration is facing a formal complaint that it has violated international law. The complaint was filed at a multinational human rights commission by the family of a Colombian man killed in a US airstrike.
The family of a Colombian fisherman killed in a US airstrike in the Caribbean has filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) accusing the US administration of conducting an extrajudicial killing in breach of international law, according to US and British media outlets.
It is the first legal challenge brought against airstrikes mandated by the Trump administration off the coasts of Central and South America, in which at least 83 people have died.
Washington says its actions aim to combat the drug trade.
