Is international law being rewritten in real-time? The world stood still as Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro appeared in a New York courthouse on January 5, 2026, following a clandestine US operation. This unprecedented 'abduction' has triggered a diplomatic emergency at the UN Security Council.
US Abduction of Nicolas Maduro 2026 and the Sovereign Crisis
Venezuela's representatives at the UN didn't mince words, declaring that their nation's sovereignty is at stake. They've called the US move a direct violation of international norms.

Many are wondering: who'll be the next target if this action goes unchecked?
