We know of at least one person who has been identified by his family as a fisherman, Alejandro Carranza. How can we help his family with the legal battle to find justice?

After the briefing with the Admiral and the House and Senate Armed services Committees, the only Republican saying anything is that Idiot Tom Cotton. Both Jack Reed and Jim Himes (Democrats) are saying that they were shocked by what they saw. Hopefully we will see an investigation by Congress. Not holding my breath though as the Republicans are too afraid of Trump to do their job.

The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS): This independent judicial body has jurisdiction over any dispute concerning the interpretation or application of the UNCLOS. Its seat is in Hamburg, Germany, but it can hold sessions elsewhere when it deems necessary.

Flag State Jurisdiction: For crimes committed in international waters, the jurisdiction typically falls to the country where the ship is registered (the flag state).

Other jurisdictions: Depending on the specific circumstances, other jurisdictions may also be involved, such as the location of the incident or the nationality of the individuals involved.

They need to get involved in this now.

I think the Trump regime is allowing the military to become a kill operation.
