flag A U.S. drone strike in international waters killed Colombian fisherman Alejandro Carranza, sparking a family quest for justice amid U.S. secrecy and legal barriers.

flag The Carranza family from Colombia is seeking justice after a U.S. military drone strike in international waters on September 15, 2024, allegedly killed fisherman Alejandro Carranza, who they say was not involved in drug trafficking. flag The family filed a petition with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which can investigate and recommend actions, though its findings are non-binding. flag The U.S. has not confirmed the incident or released evidence, and legal efforts in U.S. courts face major hurdles due to sovereign immunity and presidential immunity. flag Colombia has launched its own inquiry, but limited access to U.S. data may hinder accountability. flag The family, grieving and struggling financially, insists the burden of proof should be on the U.S. and maintains Carranza was a fisherman, not a smuggler.
