The UN's human rights chief has condemned US military strikes on vessels allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean and Pacific, saying the lethal attacks violate international law and amount to "extrajudicial killing".
Volker Türk said on Friday that more than 60 people have reportedly been killed in US strikes since early September.
Calling the attacks "unacceptable", he said Washington must halt them immediately and conduct prompt, independent and transparent investigations.
