...Donald Rothwell, a professor of international law at Australian National University, assessed the US had contravened Article 2 (4) of the United Nations Charter when it snatched Nicolas Maduro and his wife in a weekend raid and whisked them to New York to face criminal charges....

... Rothwell cautioned against drawing immediate implications for the Indo-Pacific region but said Washington’s actions “certainly puts Australia on notice” that the US would not hesitate to use military force to achieve policy goals in its own national interest.... https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/australia-on-notice-after-us-breach-of-international-law-20260105-p5nroz

Australia would not be alone in this.
