Safety of Princess Latifa leaves attack on Nostromo unresolve

In March 2018, the ruler of Dubai phoned the prime minister of India, and between them they mobilized the militaries of their respective countries to coordinate an attack on a private, US-registered yacht sailing in international waters and to abduct all onboard. The target was the Nostromo, captained by American citizen Herve Jaubert, and the objective was to capture the daughter of Sheikh Mohammed, Latifa Al Maktoum, who had escaped the UAE where she alleged she had been subjected to torture and abuse for decades. This action, carried out in violation of international law, maritime law, and in breach of both the UAE’s and India’s obligations as allies of the United States, constitutes a major crime which has not only gone unpunished, but which has been all but overshadowed by the story of Princess Latifa’s escape and speculation about her fate.
