ECUADOR/EL SALVADOR: CIA accused of carrying out covert operations in Pacific
Questioned on 9 September about whether the expanding US security partnership with Ecuador poses human rights concerns, amid concerns that fishing vessels may have been targeted in air strikes, Secretary of State Marco Rubio argued that criminal organisations were “the real human rights violator”.
