Introduction:

Since the terrorist onslaughts of September 11. 2001. And American get downing Global War on Terror and onslaughts on Afghanistan in persuit of AL-QAEDA and TALIBAN as they were alleged to be involved in onslaughts of 9/11. Pakistan being a neighbouring province besides got effected by this war and a series of Suicide bombardment started due to Pakistan’s confederation with American as frontline strategic spouse in this war. Similarly more unsafe country in Pakistan was Tribal Areas along Afghan lodger and many activists get awaying from Afghanistan came to these countries and allegedly planed onslaughts on Alliess forces contending in Afghanistan. So Americans expanded this war inside the Pakistani Boarder for assailing activists by Drone Attacks.

Drone onslaughts in Pakistan are one of the most of import and controversial facets of the Bush every bit good as Obama Administration’s attack to contending terrorist act. The legality of drones has been questioned for a assortment of grounds. some more grounded in fact than others. but in malice of these unfavorable judgments there is small inquiry that the usage of drones in surveillance and combat functions is on the rise international jurisprudence has had to cope with the cardinal challenges that large-scale force carried out by non-State histrions poses to the traditional inter-State orientation of international jurisprudence.

Questions related to the “adequacy” and “effectiveness” of international human-centered jurisprudence. international human rights jurisprudence and the jurisprudence related to the usage of force have been peculiarly pronounced… The first reported usage of a “drone” was in 1919. when the discoverer of automatic pilot engineering and the gyroscope. Elmer Sperry. drop a German battlewagon with a pilotless aircraft. The Vietnam War saw drones used for surveillance intents. Drones have the advantage of being able to garner valuable intelligence without the inherent hazard to human life that a traditional manner by a piloted trade would present.

Base for the Use of Drones:

Drones base can be found from the address of American President Bush while he was turn toing joint session of American Congress and House of Representstive shortly after 9/11 saying that “We will direct every resource at our bid. every agency of diplomatic negotiations. every tool of intelligence. every instrument of jurisprudence enforcement. every fiscal influence. and every necessary arm of war. to assail and to the licking of the planetary panic web. ”

The Bush Administration found great value in drone engineering and used onslaught drones against marks in several states. including Afghanistan. Pakistan and Iraq. Under President Obama. the usage of onslaught drones has notably accelerated. The Taliban. subdued but non defeated. has non become a non-violent political force in the new Afghanistan.

Nature of Pak-Afghan Border. Its Consequence:

. The boundary line between Afghanistan and Pakistan may divide two autonomous States as a affair of jurisprudence. but the Durand Line seldom maps as such in pattern. This is the Pakhtun heartland. a multinational tribal cultural geographical part with big populations of Pashtuns on either side of the boundary line. It is because of this intermingling of civilization and commitment that the country is often referred to as “Pak-Afghan” It is here where Al Qaeda’s so first- and second-in-command. Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri. were by and large believed to be concealing until bin Laden was killed in an American foray on May 1. 2011 in Abbottabad. Pakistan.

So due to this close relationship between the abode of Pak Afghan lodger people use to come here and at that place acrose the boundary line. So it becomes necessary for contending terrorist act to take actions on both sides of Pak Afghan boundary line. But it does non intend that the forces moving in Afghanistan have free manus to assail even in the district of Pakistan whenever and nevertheless they want. These onslaughts have to be in restrictions of the regulations of IHL.

Drones. Importance in Targeting Terrorist:

It is undeniable that American drone onslaughts in northwest Pakistan have had a important impact in footings of deceases and hurts to civilians and harm to civilian objects. In visible radiation of the declared intent of these onslaughts. to ease the licking of the Taliban and its Al Qaeda Alliess. this quantum of injury may or may non be justifiable in footings of ’morality. moralss or policy. but these considerations are non. or are at least non entirely. considerations that determine ’the legal analysis. For illustration. it is possible to back up the usage of drone onslaughts. either in peculiar state of affairss or wholly. as a affair of morality. moralss or policy. and still reason that any onslaught is improper.

The reverse place is besides possible. whether or non drone onslaughts are legal under international jurisprudence related to the usage of force is non dispositive as to their legality under international human-centered jurisprudence. As with the apposition of considerations of morality. moralss and policy. there need non be any correlativity between ’the legal analysis under the jurisprudence related to the usage of force and’ the legal analysis under international human-centered jurisprudence. As a affair of jurisprudence. these are wholly separate analyses. The legal finding of what constitutes “the battlefield” has peculiar significance for the usage of drones. peculiarly armed drones. This is because “the battlefield” is used to efficaciously specify the range of IHL’s application. In state of affairss outside the range of IHL. international human rights jurisprudence ( IHRL ) applies.

Further IHL allows for deadly force to be employed based upon the position of the mark. A member of the enemy’s forces may be targeted with deadly force based strictly on his position as a member of those forces. That person does non hold to present a current menace to friendly forces or civilians at the clip of aiming. In contrast. IHRL permits deadly force merely after a screening of dangerousness. Under IHRL. deadly force may merely be employed if the person poses an at hand menace to jurisprudence enforcement officers trying apprehension or to other persons. Further. IHRL requires that an chance to give up be offered before deadly force is employed.

Controversy Regarding Application of IHL on Drone Attacks:

Before measuring the lawfulness of each American drone onslaught in northwest Pakistan under international human-centered jurisprudence. it is necessary to first pull the differentiation in jurisprudence between state of affairss of force and state of affairss of armed struggle and so to understand how international human-centered jurisprudence classifies state of affairss of armed struggle.

International human-centered jurisprudence did non supply a clear definition of armed struggle. despite the fact that international human-centered law’s application relies upon the being of an armed struggle. None of the Four Geneva Conventions of1949. nor either of the two 1977 Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions define armed struggle. and the consensus position is that the being of an armed struggle is determined on the footing of the peculiar facts and fortunes. Major Cause of this ambiguity is long Afghan War and its different stages holding different legal range.

Changing Nature Of Afghan Conflict:

The armed struggle in the land of Afghanistan is one of the longest struggles in universe history. The nature of the struggle has changed with the class of clip. The war with lances. blades. cannons. guns and now the hottest ; Drones. Simultaneously. the kineticss of human-centered jurisprudence can non be ignored. The jurisprudence of war was non that explicit in ancient times like the manner they are now. We will measure the struggle position after 9/11 onslaught. The period since so can be divided into two stage: * 7th October 2001 to 19th June 2002

* June 2002 to show

If we discard the armed struggle of Afghanistan station 9/11 so it will be difficult to understand the altering tendency. On 12th September 2001. A declaration no. 1368 has been passed by Security Council which legalized the war ( Operation digesting freedom ) on panic by US in the land of Afghanistan. The contention from the side of US was right to self defence and corporate rights. The intercession of such nature gives rise to following consequences: * The armed resistance on one side and the intervening state/states back uping the other side maintaining the nature of the struggle as non-international armed struggle ;

The disagreement in the warfare engineering is one of the causes behind this. As US is equipped with high tech war machines while on the other manus the armed resistance are far more inferior. This led them to switch belligerencies in a different degree to get by up with the opposition. Hence. they have started aiming crowded countries among civilians. This eventually resulted in a fuzz to use the rule of differentiation between the battlers and non battler. In the same mode While there is some dissension about whether “combatant status” should be recognized in non-international armed struggles. that difference is irrelevant when it comes to inquiries refering the position of members of al-Qaeda or other terrorist organisations.

Because combatant position is based upon rank in a group that organizationally enforces “compliance with the regulations of international jurisprudence applicable in armed struggle. Groups such as al-Qaeda. whose agencies and methods of warfare include intentionally aiming civilians. can non claim battler position for their members. It should be emphasized that the behaviour of an single al-Qaeda member can non confabulate combatant position. No affair how purely an single member of a non-privileged group adheres to IHL or how conscientiously they distinguish between civilian and military marks. they are ne’er entitled to the combatant’s privilege and may hence be reprehensively apt for onslaughts on members of an opposing armed force. Al-qaeda does non. as some have suggested. hold a “basic right to prosecute in combat against us” in response to our onslaughts.

If al-Qaeda members are non battlers. so what are they? Like all people. IHL treats them as being presumably civilians who. as a general regulation are immune from aiming. If they are civilians than how American Harold H. Koh. legal advisor to the United States State Department relied on the Art 51 of UN charter for justification of Drones in Pakistani district. This in term of human-centered jurisprudence is known as “Asymmetric warfare” . On 5th December 2001. an agreement was made. known as Bonn Agreement which formed a Transitional disposal in Afghanistan. With this exigency Loya Jirga. the one twelvemonth old international armed struggle terminated but the belligerencies continued from the side of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

This type. this puppet authorities was endeavoring hard against this resistance. This has taken a new form of a non international armed struggle. At this point the application of the article 3 ( common article ) of Geneva Convention. 1949 was no more questionable. The gravitation of the new signifier was so sedate that even customary International customary human-centered jurisprudence can non be set aside. Where IHL Applies? And Status of Drones In Pakistani Territory: But a inquiry remains over the legality of the US support in Afghani war because there are some standards which are required to be fulfilled to warrant the onslaughts. The standards are: & gt ; The armed resistance should hold control over the districts of that state ; & gt ; They ( armed resistance ) must hold carried out. sustained and concerted military Operationss.

They must hold control over the civilians in certain district of that province ; & gt ; The AdPII is non adhering on the provinces who haven’t ratified it ; & gt ; Even if they ( US ) ratify. they are non bound because. the AdPII is applicable in the struggle between a province histrion and the non sate histrion of that state ( Article 1 ( 1 ) of AdPII ) .

On the footing of same statements as Drones are portion of this War on Terror but their marks are in Pakistan are of more sedate nature as Allies Armies are non contending in Pakistan or against Pakistan nor Americans are making so because they are non in Conflict With Pakistan but in stating They are strategic spouse in this War. And significantly like armed struggle. non international Armed struggle besides have no definition under International Law which can cover this War on Terror as international or internal armed struggle so it became controversial that either these Drone Attacks are capable to IHL or IHRL due to dubious nature of this War specially its actions in Pakistani district. Because IHL merely applies in International Armed struggle and requires some makings to go a combatant which can be summed up as under: A battler is:

1 ) a member of the armed forces of a Party to the struggle ( who so has the duty to separate himself/herself from the civilian population ) ; or 2 ) a member of another armed group ( militias. organized opposition motions. … ) belonging to a Party to the struggle. provided that such group fulfills the undermentioned conditions: a. that of being commanded by a individual responsible for his subsidiaries ; b. that of holding a fixed typical mark recognizable at a distance ; c. that of transporting weaponries openly ;

d. that of carry oning their operations in conformity with the Torahs and imposts of war. As Al Qaeda and Taliban does non hold character of distinguishable uniform but have a strong bid as known by whole universe likewise they have developing centres as American alleges that they have safe oasiss in Pakistan for developing but does it intend that if Al Qaeda and Taliban does non folow any jurisprudence the Allies and American forces should non follow any regulation while moving against them?

Though Al Qaeda’s self-destruction aggressors besides onslaughts on civilian without any distinguishable uniform as portion of Al Qaeda so the forces could non place them but it does non intend that the forces can kill any clip to any one merely in uncertainty of self-destruction? Similarly if the reply to these inquiries is non in affirmatory than whether the right to self defence extends to the district of other province who have non a party in struggle? as American Attacks are of on such evidences as expressed by Harold H. Koh. legal advisor to the United States State Department. delivered the keynote reference to the American Society of International Law on On March 25. 2012.

Prof Koh argued that drone onslaughts meet the legal rules set out in the jurisprudence of war because they fall under the larger philosophy of `self-defense` and stated: “In an ongoing armed conflict the United States has the right to utilize Force including deadly force to support itself including by aiming Persons such as high-ranking Al Qaeda leaders who are be aftering attacks” . Harold H. Koh’s stance and its Legal Deductions:

Koh held that the onslaughts are legal because they meet the rules of both `distinction` in that they are designed to aim specific persons in response to intelligence and `proportionality` — that is. they do non do inordinate loss of life in relation to the military or strategic ends thatare sought to be achieved by them. In response to the review that targeted violent deaths are ne’er legal Koh argued that no legal procedure is required to inform those be aftering onslaughts against the United States.

But if we consider Mr. Koh’s stance valid than it gives raise to many inquiries. For illustration. if the targeting of persons was considered leading facie valid merely under the footing of self-defense so the war in Gaza ( documented in the Goldstone Report ) and belligerencies against civilians in Sri Lanka. Congo etc would non necessitate to be discussed by the relevant UN organic structures? Simply put. if all extra-judicial targeted violent deaths were so easy justified based on the pr- emises of self-defense so any state could be allowed under the flimsiest of stalking-horse to infringe on another`s district to kill persons they believed were involved in hostile Acts of the Apostless against it.

As this dubious nature of these onslaughts is clear from this portion of my assignment. Answer to these inquiries are necessary before noticing on illegality of Drone Attacks because it will give us clear position that under which jurisprudence these should be dealt IHL or IHRL?

Drones. A affair of IHL:

Though some people think Drone merely as a topic of IHRL but its non so simle to state this. Many reading of International Law by ICJ. ICTY. ICC. most Importantly U. S Supreme Court every bit good as Israelian Court’s remarks and Judgement clearly put this War in the scope of IHL.

Transnational Armed Conflict and Drones:

But along this another term is of Transnational Armed Conflict which is more relevant to the nature of these onslaughts because The job with these definitions of international and non-international armed struggle is that jointly they did non depict all the types of armed struggles that might be. It was possible for an armed struggle to fulfill neither of these definitions. The United States’ struggle with al-Qa’ida could non be an international armed struggle because al-Qa’ida was non a “High Contracting Party” to the Geneva Conventions. Yet it was besides clearly non a non-international armed struggle as defined above because it was non internal to the United States. The being of this purported “gap” in IHL’s coverage was felt most instantly by detainees in the struggle between al-Qaeda and the United States.

Similarly An illustration of why this differentiation between internal civil wars and multinational armed struggles must be maintained. In a recent case brought by the ACLU against the Obama Administration. The ACLU attempted to enjoin drone work stoppages directed against Anwar al-Aulaqi. a outstanding member of al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula. Although the ACLU conceded that work stoppages aiming al-Aulaqi would be governed by IHL if they were conducted in Af- ghanistan. they maintained that such work stoppages would be happening “outside the context of armed conflict” if they were directed against al-Aulaqi in Yemen.

Using the logical thinking that underlies the rigorous geographical restrictions on the range of IHL described above. the ACLU argued that the absence of an armed struggle in Yemen foreclosed the application of IHL to anyone in Yemeni district. Alternatively. the usage of deadly force was governed by IHRL and might merely be employed when al-Aulaqi presented a “concrete. specific. and at hand menace of decease or serious physical injury” to others. Because the ACLU conceded that al-Aulaqi was targetable under IHL in Afghanistan. the legal footing for their claim was based upon where al-Aulaqi was instead than upon who he was. Similarly Israel’s Supreme Court put state of affairs under IHL. where a province is contending against a non province histrion. the Israeli Supreme Court was tasked with measuring the lawfulness of Israel’s policy of targeted violent deaths in the West Bank and Gaza.

Between the eruption of the Second Intifada in 2000 and 2005. Israel’s targeted killing policy resulted in the decease of about 300 suspected terrorists. over 100 civilian deceases and 100s of hurts. The most celebrated illustration of this policy was the 2004 onslaught on Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. establishing member of Hamas. when an Israeli chopper gunship killed him in Gaza. In discoursing whether an armed struggle paradigm applied to Israel’s targeted killing policy. the tribunal boldly stated that “there is no uncertainty today that an armed struggle may take topographic point between a province and groups or organisations that are non provinces. inter alia because of the military abilities and arms in the ownership of such organisations and their willingness to utilize them. ”

The tribunal was besides clearly influenced by the State Attorney Office’s statement that Israel had suffered proportionally a much greater loss in footings of terrorist act victims during the period under reappraisal than the United States had on September 11. and that these onslaughts were in the nature of an “‘unceasing. uninterrupted and homicidal bombardment of onslaughts. which are directed against Israelis wherever they are. without any differentiation between soldiers and civilians or between work forces. adult females and kids. ” Thus. Targeted Killings’ chief part to the treatment lies in its focal point on the willing usage of force on a important graduated table by an organized group.

The Tadic Case: Application of IHL on non province histrions in Multinational Conflict: In Tadic’s Case The ICTY acknowledged this “overlap” apprehension of armed struggle in its 1999 Tadic’s judgement when it stated: It is incontestable that an armed struggle is international if it takes topographic point between two or more States. In add-on. in instance of an internal armed struggle interrupting out on the district of a State. it may go international ( or. depending upon the fortunes. be international in character alongside an internal armed struggle ) if ( I ) another State intervenes in that struggle through its military personnels. or alter- natively if ( two ) some of the participants in the internal armed struggle act on behalf of that other State. This construct was further developed it in Boskoski. where it determined that contending between Macedonian security forces and the Albanian National Liberation Army constituted an armed struggle. The trial consists of two prongs:

( 1 ) the strength of the struggle. and
( 2 ) the organisation of the parties thereto.

In add-on. the Boskoski tribunal laid out factors relevant to the satisfaction of each prong in a drawn-out sentiment that sheds visible radiation on the extremely fact-specific nature of the enquiry. peculiarly where one of the parties is a non-state histrion. Under the Boskoski analysis. contending between al Qaeda and the United States constitutes an armed struggle. permi-tting the United States to carry on targeted violent deaths of al Qaeda combatants. Similarly U. S Supreme Court in some opinions associating to Afghan war besides declared this as an Armed struggle The Federal tribunal on enforcement says that the US authorities considers itself in war with Afghanistan. The attempts from the executive subdivision have ever been to portray the state of affairs in Afghanistan asan armed struggle. This statement has besides been supported by the Congress. The point of view over the detainment of the terrorists has been endorsed by US tribunals besides its opinions linked with issues originating from Afghan.

Consent of Pakistani Gov’t And Its Consequence On Legal Status of Drones: Another statement is most normally given that all the onslaughts are with the consent of Pakistani Gov’t but if its so than what is cogent evidence. is at that place any pact in this respect? If its merely verbal than its being is dubious at all. Another chief thing which contradict being of any understanding on these onslaughts is the statements of Pakistani Officials including P. M. Foreign Minister and many others reprobating these onslaughts publicly every bit good as officially so no Question of Consent remains valid. Specifically It is besides deserving adverting in this context that Pakistani Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar’s disapprobation of American drone onslaughts in northwest Pakistan on March 17. 2011 was phrased in the linguistic communication of armed struggle: such work stoppages constitute a affair of serious concern and raise issues sing regard for human rights and human-centered jurisprudence. Irresponsible and improper behavior can non be justified on any grounds’ .

True. the Minister of State’s statement was non peculiarly clear in acknowledging that the United States was engaged in an armed struggle with the Taliban and its Al Qaeda Alliess on the Pakistani side of the Durand Line. but it is a lawfully important admittance that contributes to the instance for the being of an armed struggle in northwest Pakistan. Continuing from the place that the state of affairs of force that the United States is engaged in War with the Taliban and its Al Qaeda Alliess in northwest Pakistan sums to an armed struggle. international human-centered jurisprudence would be the appropriate legal frame of mention for measuring the lawfulness of single drone onslaughts in northwest Pakistan.

Is Pakistan’s Inability to Trace and Attack Militants Justifies Drone Attacks? Now the following statement is for the justification of these drones is that Pakistan do non hold ability to undertake these terrorist so that’s why American are step ining for striking them. Is it non a misdemeanor of the rights of a autonomous province to hold regard of his territorial country by non-interference by others without due procedure of jurisprudence. This position is clearly upheld by ICJ in instance of In Democratic Republic of Congo instance. the revenge from the side of Uganda due to the old invasion of Congo raised the issue to armed struggle. It was held that Congo’s inability to take any action against the activist does non give any right to Uganda to perpetrate an act of incursion and assail the group themselves.

Victims of Drones under IHL:

Though the intent of drone is to counter terrorist but statistics shows that among them there are many civilians. A survey at Stanford and New York University titled ‘Living Under Drones’ claimed that merely two per centum of drone work stoppage casualties in Pakistan are top activists. and that the big figure of related civilian deceases turn Pakistanis against the US. The survey revealed that figure of casualties among Pakistani civilians was far higher than the US acknowledged.

The NAF study covers the period between 2004 and February 24. 2010. its day of the month of publication. Particularly contact is that the figure of drone onslaughts that took topographic point during the first 55 yearss of 2010 were. at 18. precisely twice the figure of drone onslaughts that took topographic point during the full four old ages from 2004 to 2007. Overall. during the about six old ages and two months covered by the survey. the United States carried out 114 drone onslaughts. ensuing in between 830 and 1. 210 entire deceases. with between 550 and 850 of the dead being activists. This means that somewhat more than 30 % of deceases from drone onslaughts in the survey were civilian deceases. with the per centum dropping to somewhat less than 25 % if one focuses merely on 2009. the most active twelvemonth covered by the survey.

Basic Principles of IHL and Their Observance In Drone Attacks:

As its clear that Drones are capable to follow the IHL. But if we examine their manner of assailing and their marks and effectees as mentioned in old heading we can state that Drones are even go againsting the cardinal rules of IHL

Principal of proportionality and Differentiation:

Given that the United States has conducted about 300 drone onslaughts in northwest Pakistan in recent old ages and that international human-centered jurisprudence would necessitate an exacting and individualised appraisal for each of these onslaughts. infinite restraints preclude wide and sweeping generalisations about the conformity of each of these onslaughts under this subdivision of jurisprudence. International human-centered jurisprudence is inordinately fact intensive. and the significance attached to many of its cardinal rules. in peculiar the rule of proportionality. is frequently contested and prone to political use.

First. although international human-centered jurisprudence recognizes that it is unable to extinguish the flagellum of war. and alternatively enterprises to get the hang it and extenuate its effects. the rule of proportionality does non prohibit indirect harm when such harm is outweighed by a peculiar Attacks concrete and direct military advantage anticipated. Of class. international human-centered jurisprudence does forbid disproportional onslaughts.

The rule of differentiation and the implicit in rule of proportionality are the most cardinal rules of human-centered jurisprudence. The rule of differentiation embodies the construct that the effects of war must be limited to battlers and military aims every bit much as is executable. Civilians and civilian objects should be spared and may non be targeted. However. it is clear that indirect harm as such is non needfully improper under international human-centered jurisprudence and that proportionality is a concretion of intangibles that balances military and civilian concerns. Proportionality must be assessed within the context of peculiar facts and fortunes. and decisions of jurisprudence can non be drawn in abstracto. With this apprehension of the international human-centered jurisprudence rule of proportionality. one can get down to measure the legal deductions of the drone onslaught that killed Baitullah Mehsud.

When Hellfire missiles from an American Predator drone killed Mehsud in South Waziristan. it was reported that he perished along with his married woman. his mother- and father-in jurisprudence. seven escorts and a TTP lieutenant. Though in present fortunes. and engagement of international political relations its hard to work out the jobs peacefully specially terrorist act. But it does non intend this necessity gives free manus to contend war without any regulations As there is customary jurisprudence of war in form of conventions. and necessity of war is besides at that place capable to regulation of Distinction which provides that during war differentiation must be kept in head between military marks and civilian objects. So attacks on Masajid. Madaris Houses every bit good as on nuptials ceremonials are illegal under the regulation of Distinction.

IHL does non declares war as illegal but accepts the military necessity and modulate the usage of force by supplying that merely military object should be marks even though some civilians besides get consequence from it. But should be minute. this lose in linguistic communication of IHL is known as collateral damagebut the regulation of customary jurisprudence applies on all provinces irrespective of their confirmation by that province. In short if we examine the causalities of Drone Attacks a immense figure of Civil Victims are at that place. Similarly many onslaughts have destroyed houses Masajid and Madaris which is against the regulations of IHL covering with lawful marks.

As the General Rule is that the benefit of uncertainty will travel to the accused. the same rule is adopted in IHL forbiding onslaughts on such marks about which you are holding a uncertainty that it have some civilian nature. Though its hard to pull line differentiation. R Proportionality but maximal attention must be taken. But in Drones it was besides non observed. Even against enemies merely such sum of force or wapon can be used which merely compels him to accept licking. and the intent of war is to catch opposition and non its extinction.

Decision:

Drone Attacks along Pak-Afghan Border inside the district of Pakistan are of import in a manner that they developed some new constructs in International Law. particularly in IHL. If we see from the position of Americans and their Ally’s position it seems that The drone run raises cardinal inquiries of the acceptableness of force as a signifier of struggle declaration. Further the confusing nature of Afghan Issue besides stops the manner to reason from one legal angle to discourse cogency of drones. A inquiry can be raised that Drones are being used in Pakistan than why a elaborate treatment on Afghan War given? But in world World has become a planetary small town so no 1 can be assessed in isolation specially Pak-Afghan country. holding strong ties in all dimensions of Life International Relations.

As here Drones were discussed under IHL but if there is some uncertainty about the application of IHL than needfully IHRL will use and assessment under UDHR besides invalidates the application of Drones go againsting cardinal rights like Right to Fair Trail. Representation by Counsel. Right to Life and Freedom Of Movement. etc. But it’s a separate elaborate treatment. Even with full resistance by International Community holding cognition of IHL uninterrupted and non halt usage of Drones is demoing Practical Example of “Might Is Right” .
