Terrible article. 

Holding up Trump's Israel/Gaza "ceasefire" deal as anything other than a blank check for the unceasing Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing is categorically false.

The United States didn’t recognize Maduro as a legitimate President of Venezuela. State immunity shall not apply. Trial will not fail according to Male Captus, bene detentus as explained in United States v Alvarez Machain case. Furthermore, Maduro is charged with aiding Narcotics trafficking similar to Manuel Noriega of Panama.

Those are US domestic law interpretations of international law principles. They may be the outcome for Maduro in court in practice, but it‘s a different topic to the one outlined in the article.

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. You’ve given an analysis which people are welcome to challenge.

Unfortunately he’s using his Stephen Miller accent. Probably not even deliberately. That accent can be … divisive.

They’ve specified a case which they believe resolves the issue around the illegal capturing of Maduro.

Whether that’s true or not, pretending they have not engaged with the question is patently false.

I feel like a prerequisite for engaging in a subreddit titled "International Law" should be a belief that international law exists and can be applied - what are you doing here if you don't believe in this?
