Good afternoon, everyone. Credible reports have emerged indicating that U.S. military personnel likely violated international humanitarian law, specifically involving an alleged order by Pete Hegseth to fire on individuals in the southern Caribbean who were clinging to the side of a burning boat and posed no apparent threat to the United States.

Having spent years studying international law both as an undergraduate and in law school, I can say this with absolute clarity: if these reports are accurate, this conduct would align with what international law defines as denial of quarter, the unlawful refusal to accept the surrender of persons who are defenseless, incapacitated, or otherwise incapable of mounting a threat. In plain terms, it would constitute a war crime. And I break down exactly why.

A Washington Post report described a Caribbean operation in which U.S. surveillance tracked a boat believed to be carrying drugs; according to two individuals with direct knowledge, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a spoken directive to “kill everybody,” leading SEAL Team 6 to strike the vessel and leave no survivors, even as two men clung to the burning, disabled boat.

Experts and officials say the suspected traffickers were not engaged in any armed conflict with the United States and posed no imminent threat; therefore, according to former Special Operations legal adviser Todd Huntley, killing them outside a lawful war context “amounts to murder.”
