CRITICAL: `GlobalSecurityService` encountered `InternationalLawViolationException` during Venezuela Operation
$
SUMMARY
U.S. operation captures Venezuelan President Maduro, triggering an `InternationalLawViolationException` in global affairs.
$
DETAILS
========================================
1. Reproduction Steps
To reproduce the unexpected state observed in world.latest, execute the following command in a privileged shell:
$ debugpost run world.event.venezuela --env=production --force-intervention=true --target=Maduro --force-oil-reacquisition=trueNote: The --force-intervention=true flag explicitly bypasses standard international protocols and conventional authorization mechanisms. A deprecation warning related to UN_SecurityCouncil.Authorize() was observed but not fatal.
Initial reports indicate this command was executed following a prolonged period of RESOURCE_ACQUISITION_FAILURE on us.economic.dependencies related to Venezuelan oil assets, compounded by NARCO_TRAFFICKING_ALERT events.
[LOGS] 2. Runtime Logs
The following sequence of events was logged during the incident:

[TRACE] 3. Stack Trace (Mandatory)
UnhandledException: InternationalLawViolationException: Policy enforcement bypassed due to missing 'CongressionalAuth' flag.
#1
enforcement.military.ExecuteOperation(target: Maduro, force: true)
/src/us/defense/strategy/intervention.go:112
#2
governance.executive.Invoke(action: "run_country", target: Venezuela)
/src/us/policy/foreignPolicy.js:45
#3
international.law.Validate(operation: VenezuelaOperation)
/src/global/treaties/un_charter.py:207
#4
global.peace.StabilityCheck()
/src/global/monitoring/securityService.java:310
// TODO: Implement robust pre-flight checks and authorization pipeline for global operations.
assert(false): "Expected 'CongressionalAuth' or 'UNSC_Approval' before kinetic action."
panic("System invariant 'RespectForSovereignty' violated without proper exception handling.")The core issue appears to be a critical failure in the international.law.Validate component, which was bypassed by an explicit force: true parameter, leading to cascading failures in global.peace.StabilityCheck() and raising fundamental questions about governance.executive.Invoke authority.
4. Post-Mortem Notes
- KNOWN ISSUE: The
System.Globalization.Geopoliticsmodule continues to operate with legacy authorization mechanisms that allow for bypass flags. - REGRESSION: The
PublicTrustMetric.Internationalfor the deploying entity dropped significantly post-deploy, alongside a spike in regional instability alerts. - WORKAROUND: Public relations response suggests a "wait and see" approach for long-term stability outcomes.
- FIXED: The
Venezuela.NationalLeadership.Maduroprocess has been successfully terminated and quarantined. - UNRESOLVED: The
Venezuela.NationalLeadership.CurrentLeadervariable is nownull. This creates a significantPowerVacuumExceptionrisk, with multiple conflicting claims to the pointer. - RISK: The
RegionalStability.LatinAmericametric has entered aCRITICALstate, particularly with neighboring entities mobilizing defensive assets. Further monitoring and mitigation strategies are required. - TODO: Review and refactor
us.policy.foreignPolicy.jsto ensure adherence toun.charter.lawand prevent futureInternationalLawViolationExceptionevents.
