The family of Alejandro Carranza Medina, a Colombian fisherman killed in a US airstrike on September 15, has filed a complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). They accuse the US government of extrajudicial killing, arguing that Carranza was denied due process as outlined by international law. This complaint is significant as it is the first legal challenge against airstrikes authorized by the Trump administration, which have reportedly resulted in at least 83 deaths. The family claims that US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ordered the bombing without knowing the identities of those on the targeted vessels. Colombian President Gustavo Petro mentioned that Carranza may have had minor connections to the drug trade, raising concerns among local fishermen about the implications of US strikes. The IACHR's findings are not binding, but an adverse ruling could damage the US's reputation regarding its commitment to the rule of law.
