US Congress Should Sanction Donald Trump Over Illegal War On Venezuela, Bombing Of Nigeria And Iran, And ‘Abduction’ Of President Maduro — Femi Falana Writes
Renowned Nigerian human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has called on the United States Congress to urgently call President Donald Trump to order over what he described as a pattern of reckless, unconstitutional, and lawless military actions across several countries.
In the opinion piece, Falana accused Trump, in his second term, of engaging in “gangsterism” by launching military attacks without the constitutionally required approval of the US Congress. He cited the bombing of Iran, threats against Nigeria, airstrikes in north-western Nigeria on December 25, 2025, and the most recent invasion of Venezuela as clear violations of both US constitutional provisions and international law.
Falana condemned the bombing of Caracas, the overthrow of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and the killing of unarmed civilians, describing the capture and prosecution of Maduro and his wife in a US court as an unprecedented abuse of international legal norms. He argued that the abduction and extraordinary rendition of a sitting president of a sovereign nation amounts to a blatant breach of international law and the United Nations Charter.
The senior lawyer further alleged that the establishment of a US-backed transition regime in Venezuela is aimed at seizing the country’s vast oil and gas resources, effectively turning Venezuela into a new American colony. He urged the US Congress to sanction Trump for the illegal invasion and called on the US judiciary to reject what he described as an attempt to use domestic courts to undermine Venezuela’s sovereignty.
Falana also criticised the hypocrisy and double standards of the international community, urging the United Nations to stand firmly with the people of Venezuela and demand justice and accountability. He warned that failure to uphold the principles of the UN Charter would further erode the credibility of the global body and weaken international law.
