(Please excuse that this message is only in English)
I am trying to learn which of any international treaties, conventions, or
declarations had the United States government signed.
In particular I am trying to evaluate if someone outside the US could bring
a legal cause of action (in some international tribunal, e.g. in the Hague)
against the American government for injuries caused in the name of the War
on Drugs.
I am thinking about some hypothetical coca farmer in Colombia or real
victims who lost loved ones at the hands of the US Marines who invaded
Panama (under the auspicies of arresting a "drug kingpin").
I wonder what international agreements speak to the wrongfulness of an
invading military attacking civilians for an internal police matter, and
what if any remedies are available.
Thank you for any assistance you may give.
