US forces have struck another vessel alleged to be carrying drugs, this time in the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Reports claim two on board the vessel were killed and no US forces were harmed. 

Waikato University law professor Al Gillespie has voiced concerns over this incident - and claimed everyone deserves the right to a fair trial.

"The process that he's doing is wrong, everyone has a right to a fair trial and they shouldn't just be executed on an assumption that they are a drug trafficker."
