Fascinating, as Mr. Spock 🖖 often said.

Trying to find a news story to back this up, I find

A former Argentinian prosecutor for the International Criminal Court told the BBC on Thursday that recent US airstrikes on suspected boats smuggling drugs in the US would constitute crimes against humanity under international law.

Luis Moreno Ocampo said the strikes by President Donald Trump’s administration fell into the category of a planned, systematic attack against civilians during peacetime. He stated, “These are criminals, not soldiers. Criminals are civilians.” He added, “They are criminals, and we should do better at investigating them, prosecuting them and controlling them, but not killing people.”
