What began as a geopolitical alignment in the offices of Southern Command now has a name that shakes international law: extrajudicial killings . Argentina's integration into the US-led coalition against "narco-terrorism" is not a diplomatic formality; it is adherence to a war machine that, according to Amnesty International , has already resulted in 157 deaths without trial .

"Narcoterrorism" as a death sentence

The "narco-terrorist" label is the key Washington uses to circumvent the law. By designating organizations —or even presidents like Nicolás Maduro — under this label, the U.S. military arrogates to itself the right to act as judge and executioner .

A recent Amnesty International report is telling: since September 2025, under Operation Southern Spear , the US armed forces have carried out more than 40 unilateral attacks against vessels based solely on "suspicions." The result: 157 people killed by missiles, in operations where the presumption of innocence does not exist.

The danger of intelligence sharing

This is where the pact signed by Minister Carlos Presti becomes a death trap for our country . The agreement obligates Argentina to exchange strategic intelligence .

The Judge and the Executioner in the South Atlantic

It is a criminal paradox that Javier Milei's government invests personnel and technology to integrate into a network that practices "target shooting" in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific under the excuse of narcoterrorism, while maintaining total defenselessness in the South Atlantic .

The dehumanization of defense

The pact against narcoterrorism dehumanizes the adversary to avoid court proceedings. Amnesty International denounces the "level of cynicism and contempt for life" in these operations. By adding our Armed Forces to this coalition, the Government not only violates the National Defense Law—which prohibits the use of the military for internal security—but also betrays the ethics of our soldiers, subjecting them to a foreign command that disregards international law. Milei's alignment with the Southern Command places Argentina on the dark side of international law .
