US 'Abduction' of Maduro: A Mockery of International Law & Global Order

  • Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were reportedly 'abducted' and presented in a US court, sparking global outrage.
  • The article argues this act by the US shatters international law and sets a dangerous precedent for global leaders and countries.
  • It highlights a history of over 72 US-led regime changes since 1947, often against democracies and driven by self-interest.
  • US justifications for Maduro's apprehension, based on a 1989 'Snatch Act' memo, are seen as violating international legal norms.
  • The author warns of dangerous times for the Global South, urging India to champion a true 'rules-based order' based on Vasudaiva Kutumbakam.

Why It Matters: US 'abduction' of Maduro exposes hypocrisy, undermines international law, and threatens global stability.
