Description:

“Operation Absolute Resolve”—the recent US military operation in Venezuela resulting in the capture of its president Nicolás Maduro and his wife—marks one of the most consequential foreign policy developments in the Western Hemisphere in decades. Drawing on perspectives from political science, international law, history, and more, this panel discussion will examine the origins, legitimacy, and consequences of US actions; the future of US–Latin America relations; and the crisis these actions constitute for international law. Please save the date, the lineup of speakers will be announced soon.

Hosted by the Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs and the Weinberg College Center for International & Area Studies and its Latin American & Caribbean Studies Program.
