Maduro is not a drug trafficker, that is absurd. He is a legitimate president. Chávez himself warned before he passed away that the CIA was plotting this against Venezuela and the US already dropped the Cartel de los Soles narrative.
Now, points 7 and 8 are not accurate. Yes, the International Law applies in US soil. They have International obligations because they signed the UN Charter and most Geneva Conventions. So yes, the judge must apply International Law. The U.S. not only violated its own Constitutional Law by ausing force without the Congress approval, but also International Law.
Judge Hellerstein had similar cases in the past. First, the World Trade Center Case in 2006. The Judge recognised the City of New York immunity. The Judge also stopped Trump recently, when Trump tried to use the Alien Enemies Act. Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court granted Trump immunity in the past. Why they would apply their Internal Law differently? As a matter of International Law, the jurisprudence also says that recognition and legitimacy is not a requirement for personal immunity of presidents. I'm talking about the famous Al-Assad case before the French Court of Casation. Now, the U.S. and Trump before and after the bombing of Venezuela recognized that they were kidnapping a President. Trump posts on social media prove that, and their recognition of Vice-President Delcy Rodriguez as now president. THEY ARE RECOGNIZING VENEZUELA'S LEGITIMATE AND CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER.
The Law is very clear, both domestically and International Law, Maduro is an innocent man, a President with immunity and the act of aggression was completely illegal. Free Maduro, as Chávez said "Unidad, Lucha, Batalla y Victoria!" Now is time to fight through legal means.
Hi Juan! Thanks for this comment! Just to clarify about points 7 and 8: I'm not saying that international law does not apply in US soil at all. Nor am I saying that it shouldn't (of course it should!). I'm saying that in this specific case, the US court will choose not to apply it (for better or for worse). ☺️👍🏽
