Grade 5 of 5: International Crime (Rome Statute)
Eastern Pacific Convoy Strike: Eight Men Who Jumped Overboard Left in the Sea as US Forces Sank Their Boats (December 2025)
A US strike on a three-boat convoy killed three men outright; eight others jumped into rough seas before US forces sank their boats, and none was ever found. The military first reported three dead and confirmed the eight only after reporting by The Intercept. The incident falls within a campaign that a UN Special Rapporteur found, at the reasonable-grounds standard, constituted crimes against humanity of murder.
