The Discussion 

The lecture, entitled "Murder on the High Seas? The Legal and Ethical Implications of US Attacks on Alleged Drug Traffickers," addressed the complex legalities surrounding recent maritime actions.

The session focused on: 

  • The United States' actions in connection with Venezuela and the broader international landscape. 
  • The ramifications for international law and global politics following these targeted operations. 
  • Urgent matters of human rights, accountability, and the preservation of the rule of law in international waters. 

Distinguished Panel 

The event was led by Professor Mark Bell, Regius Professor of Laws, and featured commentary from Assistant Professor Michael A. Becker, providing an interdisciplinary look at the intersection of maritime law and ethical governance. 

This event reflects Trinity’s research and innovation while engaging with pioneering international scholars on matters of global significance. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who joined us in person for this important dialogue.
