United Nations: A UN report has condemned United States’s rampant drone attacks on bordering areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Special UN correspondent on extrajudicial executions Philip Alston has prepared the report for Human Rights Commission of UNO. He termed drone attacks as “ill-defined licence to kill without accountability” in his report.
The report identified The US as the word’s No.1 user of target killings because of its reliance on drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
“The international community needs to be more forceful in demanding accountability.” Alston said that roughly 40 countries possess drone technology and many of them either have or are attempting to acquire the capability to launch missiles from drones.
The 29-page report demanded of the countries, using drone technology to issue rules and regulation in using the technology, and to issue reports containing number of civilian deaths, caused by drone attacks.
It also demanded clarification of either the countries first tried to arrest or disable the militants or killed them in first attempt.
